Well, this year I get to drive

My own keys to my own car

This is where the best times are

Is this what they call ‘Sweet Sixteen’

It seems too much like a dream

Year sixteen

Finally on my own

Never knowing

Where this dream may go

Sixteen candles, sixteen years

In this time, it all appears

Now it all seems so clear

Where I am to go

It used to seem so far away

Is it here, it’s hard to say

Too much is up this road

Where it leads, I will go

So close it seems to me

I’m finally free

I can go where I want to be

Get away from this crazy stuff

Being myself and hanging out

This is what it’s all about

Year sixteen

I’m finally on my own

Never knowing

Where this dream may go

Sixteen candles, sixteen years

In this time, it all appears

Now it all seems so clear

Where I am to go

Finally, getting to see the world

Making way for where this path may go

Print designs in my car

This is where I’m a star

Being who I am inside

I’m sixteen, what’s there to hide

Never knowing

That’s half the fun

Just going

I’ve finally won

Seeing worlds I’ve never seen

It’s not what it seems

Being who I was meant to be

Year sixteen

I’m finally on my own

Never knowing

Where this dream may go

Sixteen candles, sixteen years

In this time, it all appears

Now it all seems so clear

Where I am to go

Just waiting

For the right time

Getting to tell

What’s on my mind

I don’t know how or when

This is how it all began

I see now

This is how it is

Showing the world

Just who I am

And waiting to find

When I leave this all behind

Year sixteen

I’m finally on my own

Never knowing

Where this dream may go

Sixteen candles, sixteen years

In this time, it all appears

Now it all seems so clear

Where I am to go

Year sixteen

I’m finally on my own…

Never knowing

Where this dream may go…

Sixteen candles and years

This is when it all appears

To me it now seems so clear

This is where I must go
