Seven Years I've waited
Seven years of holding on
Yes it's been
Yes it's been
Always kept my faith in
Always know this day would come

It's time for a new beginning
I'm livin' my life
It's time for a new beginning

There's a new day comin'
Getting ready for a change

Gotta keep on runnin'
Gotta be a better way

Gotta do what's in your heart
Say what's on your mind

Gotta keep you to myself
I feel now that it's my time
That everybody knows

It's time for a new beginning
I'm livin' my life

It's time for a new beginning
