before it becomes cliche to say so 
before people start making resolutions 
and kissing at midnight. 
before the clanking of crystal and
explosions off in the distance
i need to make some changes of my own.

i will fear nothing
i will smile constantly
i will leave nothing but light in the places i go
i will change for no one but myself
i will fight like hell for everything i believe in
i will create
i will work like my life depends on it 
because my life really does depend on it
i will do good in the world
i will be more beautiful everyday 

and i’ll make them proud of me 
and i’ll know my name 
and i’ll give all of myself 
and i will be saved

i will be saved.
