There's a new me coming out


And I just had to live

And I wanna give

I'm completely positive

I think this time around

Oh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me

To break out of this shell

I have to shout

I've got to show the world

All that I wanna be

And all my abilities

There's so much more to me

Somehow I'll have to make them

Just understand

I got it well in hand

And oh how I have planned

I'm spreadin' love

There is no need to fear

And I just feel so good

Every time I hear


I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show
