A new flame is lit,
A new chapter has begun.
To burn forever more,
Whether it stays the way that I hope,
Or turns sour further down the track, who knows.
Now a new era in my life is born.

Banished is shyness,
That's been holding me back.
Replaced with the new me.
The better me, well it can only be.

My opinions count, not afraid to share.
My feelings count, not afraid to share.
My beliefs count, not afraid to share.

For those who don't want to hear,
What are you still doing here in my life?
Be gone now!
Good friends would, you can't be one.

A new flame is lit,
Now a new era in my life is born.
Only room in my life for good friends.
True friends.
Are you one?

The flame is still burning ever brightly.
