Fifteen was good to me
Will sixteen be too?
Will it be everything I’ve hoped for
Or will my hopes fall through?
It’s a bittersweet feeling
Growing older as we do
It’s hard to believe
Because the time really flew.
Tomorrow is the day
I don’t know if I’m ready
My mind is a mess
I’m a little unsteady.
But still, I’ll push forward
Get through today
And wake up tomorrow
Feeling some kind of way.
I’m excited for what’s to come
Excited for this new age
I’m ready for whatever
I'm ready for this new stage.
So I welcome you sixteen
Into my life
I'm ready for you
Because you will be larger than life.
Will sixteen be too?

But still, I’ll push forward
Get through today
And wake up tomorrow

I’m excited for what’s to come
Excited for this new age
I’m ready for whatever
I'm ready for this new stage.
So I welcome you sixteen
Into my life
I'm ready for you
Because you will be larger than life.
