[Cassie:]
I saw the cover and judged the book
I turned away without a second look
But now, now, now
I see a brand new you
I told myself I better run and hide
I never noticed what was there inside
But now, now, now
I see a brand new you!
And I can’t stop myself from lovin’
Ev’ry itty bitty thang you do!
[All:]
Hoo! I see a brand new you
Hoo! I see a brand new you!
[Charlotte:]
I didn’t know where I was meant to be
I figured no one would be
There for me
But now, now, now
I see a brand new you!
[Girls:]
Oo-hoo
[All:]
Now, now, now
You! You!
I see a brand new you
[Molly & Charlotte:]
I never knew that you could understand
[Molly, Charlotte & Cassie:]
But I looked up and you
Reached out your hand!
And now, now, now
I see a brand new you!
[Charlotte:]
I opened my eyes
And there’s a great big world around!
I opened my eyes
And just look, just look
Look at what I found!
[All:]
Now, now, now!
I opened my eyes!
Ooh

And there’s a great big world around!
