[Intro]
Yeah
Clock hit midnight
Same heartbeat
New timeline
[Verse 1]
Left that year in the rearview
Old me waving as I pass by
All those almosts, half-finished plans
Archive that, let the past dry
New calendar on the fridge door
Blank squares, I can write in
Every page like a passport
Stamp it with the life I’m livin’ (yeah)
[Chorus]
New year, new me, say it out loud
Do better than before, make my mama proud
Step by step, I’m climbin’ out the doubt
New beginnings, I’ma figure this out
New year, new me, sing it again
Little more heart, little less pretend
Every setback turned into a friend
New beginnings, this is how it ends and begins
[Verse 2]
Hit that reset in my spirit
Same scars but a new spin
Turn my losses into lessons
Let the growth really sink in
Less talk, more doing
Less “maybe,” more “I’m in”
If I fall, keep movin’
That’s the way that I win (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I been scared of the mirror sometimes
Now I’m lookin’ like, “go shine”
Every day’s a small climb
Still I rise, still I rise
[whispered vocals]
Leave that old weight here
Walk light into the new year
[Chorus]
