Lyrics

TV version

When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start
But that's the hardest part
And trust me
It gets better

I finally know where I belong
This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming
Me

Full version

When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start
But that's the hardest part
And trust me
It gets better

I finally know where I belong
This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me

I've worked hard
Come so far
It's my story
I'm the star
And the road I'm on
Could go until forever

Every day there's something new
Every day I share with you

I've got a feeling
(I've got a feeling)
With you
I'm becoming
I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming me
(I'm becoming me)

We're looking for new horizons
Let's go explore new horizons
We're looking for new horizons
Let's go explore new horizons

This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming
Me
