LYRICS:

If I could only see, today’s a new day,

An opportunity to be anything. What will it bring?

A tiny mustard seed held in loving hands, doesn’t ask too much of me

Am I really enough to make it grow? In my heart, do I believe?

I just gotta let go and breathe in, break this shell from within,

Let the light shine that’s beggin’ to be free

I just gotta let go and breathe out, makes me wanna sing and shout,

Ain’t nobody take my happy away from me

And I won’t let ‘em get the best of me

Unconditional grace, doesn’t always look amazing,

but if the heart is willing, it’s free to receive

Lady Wisdom whispers softly in my dreams; silence leads the way

In times like these we must first fall to our knees, but we’ll be back on our feet someday

I just gotta let go and breathe in, break this shell from within,

Let the light shine that’s beggin’ to be free

I just gotta let go and breathe out, makes me wanna sing and shout,

Ain’t nobody take my happy away from me

And I won’t let ‘em get the best of me

There’s a place deep within, where nobody else has been

In the arms of a memory, you’ll find true humility

I can finally see, today’s a new day, an opportunity to be anything. Won’t you help me sing?

I just gotta let go and breathe in, break this shell from within,

Let the light shine that’s beggin’ to be free

I just gotta let go and breathe out, makes me wanna sing and shout,

Ain’t nobody take my happy away from me

I just gotta let go and breathe in, break this shell from within,

Let the light shine that’s beggin’ to be free

I just gotta let go and breathe out, makes me wanna sing and shout,

Ain’t nobody take my happy away from me

And I won’t let ‘em get the best of me
