And I know you've been through more things than most
And it always seems as though it'll never get any better
But there's something you should know
You're never alone
No matter how it all began
It's not how it has to end cause
I believe in new beginnings
No matter what they say
Yesterday is over
It's over
And though tomorrow can't be promised
Today's a brand new day and love lasts forever, forever
I believe, I believe
I believe in new beginnings
And I know you've been hurt before and you don't wanna try no more
Said you already closed the door to that part of your heart
But you can love again
In time your heart will mend
Before it's all over
You'll be doing fine
I believe in new beginnings
No matter what they say
Yesterday is over
It's over
And though tomorrow can't be promised
Today's a brand new day and love lasts forever, forever
I believe, I believe
I believe in new beginnings
I ain't living in yesterday
New beginnings gonna come my way
It's what I believe
And you ain't got to be feeling down
New beginnings are gonna come around
Don't you believe?
I believe in new beginnings
No matter what they say
Yesterday is over
It's over
And even though tomorrow is not promised
Today's a brand new day and love lasts forever, forever
I believe, I believe
