The light on my face,

The sun on my skin

I start this new life

But where to begin

Do I walk a new path,

Or continue straight ahead

Do I carry this old baggage

Or walk empty handed instead

Do I shed this old skin

And toss it aside

Like a love I have once given

That’s withered and died

Do I again give love freely

Or hang on to it tight

Should I trust in my heart

To know which is right

So, until that day comes

My courage I must own

And take that first step

Into the unknown

(Epilogue)

I took that first step

Into the unknown

And the meaning of true love

Again I was shown

I chose my new path

So down it I tread

And chose to go down it

Hand in hand with you instead

I donned my new skin

And tossed the other aside

In the shadow of the past

I no longer shall hide

My courage in do own

And my heart I did give

With strength and with love

This new life I now live.
