Woke up to a new life

I'd been clinging onto a leaf
To avoid being washed down a cliff
But the moment I let go
I was surprised by the calm flow

I just woke up to a new life
That only appears full of strife
But there's no limit, no binding
Here, happiness has no ending

No more nagging and no answering to do
There's freedom, there's fun, all so new
No more tears and no emotion
Life's a journey with no destination

Life is an infinite ocean
Of which I know only a portion
But I yearn to learn more
Understand it right to the core

Guys, gals, strangers and pals
All are now equal, there's no one special
It's all just a self-imposed restriction
We burden ourselves with every relation

Dare to step into the unknown sphere
Coz you have the innate power to conquer
Let alone all the fear
And put your courage into gear

Don't be sad if there's no one with you
Remember, your only real friend, is you
Forget the gloom for a while
And then you can't help but smile
