Welcome to the new day
Come out and play
Welcome to this new place
Where the shadows wait
Hold on for something more
Hold on until you can no more
Don't let go
Before you know
It's safe to walk away
Hold on like never before
Hold on until you can no more
Don't give in
It's not your sin
To weaken from the pain
Hold on to all that you have left
And welcome to the next step
You'll be told stories both false and true
And be made to worry about what you'll do
But there's no reason to become anything less
And welcome to the next step
Life is a journey with hurdles that try
The patience and will of the strength of the mind
Each day a rung on the ladder of life
Beckoning all to continue the climb
Taking away what cannot be spared
Leaving in wake all that once was shared
So, hold on to all you have left
And welcome to the next step
Upwards you go until the end is met
Trying and climbing to fund out what's next
There's no freedom in being anyone else
So, welcome to the next step
Welcome every new page
As your story unfolds
Welcome every new day
And all that you hold
Remember always
There's no reason to be anything less
There's no freedom in being anyone else
And welcome to the next step
