Verse 1
I’ve been stressing over things I can’t mess with,
Wasting my time on things I can’t change.
Carrying around all these worries and burdens,
Letting my mind keep running away.
But I’m breaking those chains that held me down,
Leaving that old life buried in the ground.
I’m opening my eyes to a brand-new day,
And I’m finding my strength along the way.
Pre-Chorus
No more hiding, no more fear,
I can feel a change happening here.
Chorus
I’m gonna be a new man now,
Gonna stand tall and make myself proud.
Just gonna straight up be livin’, yeah…
L-I-V-I-N.
I’m gonna chase my dreams every chance I get,
No more looking back with regret.
I see a change in me,
I’m finally becoming who I’m meant to be.
Yeah, I’m gonna be the new me now.
Verse 2
No more sitting around always putting myself down,
I’m done letting doubt keep me on the ground.
I’m gonna dust off these old boots,
Find that road and do what I was born to do.
I’m gonna live free like those birds up high,
With a little more faith and a little less why.
I’ll ride until the sun sets low,
Watch that sunset paint the sky with a glow.
Chorus
I’m gonna be a new man now,
Gonna stand tall and make myself proud.
Just gonna straight up be livin’, yeah…
L-I-V-I-N.
I’m gonna chase my dreams every chance I get,
No more looking back with regret.
I see a change in me,
I’m finally becoming who I’m meant to be.
Yeah, I’m gonna be the new me now.
Bridge
And when the devil tells me no,
I’m gonna yell, “YES, I can!”
Because I know where I’m going,
And I know who I am.
I’ve been through the fire,
I’ve walked through the rain,
But I’m stronger now because of the pain.
Final Chorus
I’m gonna be a new man now,
With my boots on the ground and my head held proud.
Just gonna straight up be livin’, yeah…
L-I-V-I-N.
The past can’t hold me, fear can’t win,
This is where my new life begins.
I see a change in me,
A better man is who I’m gonna be.
Yeah, I’m gonna be the new me now.
Outro
No more chains, no more doubt…
I’m living this life I dreamed about.
Just gonna straight up be livin’…
Yeah, L-I-V-I-N.
