that morning sun was burnin' in my eyes
i could see a brand new day
and all the hurt and anger weighin' on my heart
had begun to drift away
i saw it written on a church marquee as i drove into town
said today's a new beginning friend
and i had to laugh out loud
'cause there's no doubt
i'm a brand new me
i've been shattered by the storm but i survived
i'm a brand new me
i found a revelation in the tears i cried
i opened up my eyes
oh
what a change i see
i'm a brand new me
there's a warrior and a victim living deep
inside all of us
we have to choose to fight or surrender
when the world beats us up
i know where my weakness lies
but i know it's a fight that i can win
i may get broken trying to get up
but i can't wait to start again
i'm gonna start again
days come and go
yeah they come and go like a road with no end
hope fades but never dies
just look at me catchin' my second wind
i'm a brand new me
i'm a brand new me
i'm a brand new me
