New Beginnings
Luminate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To please the world I see,
And live by taking more,
But I'm lost 'cause I always come up short,
I guess living for yourself will leave you wanting more.
Chorus:
So here's to new beginnings
Let's chase a new horizon,
Chase who we're meant to be,
Just close your eyes and listen,
'Cause love's calling you and me,
But just see a new tomorrow,
It's who it meant to be.
Here I am I can't do this anymore,
Can't follow in the blind
There's a sight I can't ignore,
And I know, but I've gotta chance to change,
I know the only way I gotta run through the grave.
Chorus:
So here are some new beginnings
And here's to breaking free
Let's chase a new horizon,
Chase who will meant to be,
Just close your eyes and listen,
'Cause love's calling you and me,
But just see a new tomorrow,
It's who it meant to be.
We're meant to be, we're meant to be,
So we were meant.
I am found and there's no one left to hide,
Love's found me where I am
And the change I can't deny.
Love is heal, not a love you go this time
Your second birth is grace, through death I am alive.
[2 xChorus:]
