AT SIXTEEN



Every girl waits for this day
 With hope and dreams in their eyes
 The day she becomes a woman
 When she turns sixteen is sweet

Every birthday s always been the same
But sixteen is special
A new phase of life
A high point in life
Where your future starts

It closes the door on childish ways
To Welcome your future as an adult
Whether you'll have a successful year
Starts at sixteen
Whether you will make wise decisions
And hangout with good influences

The time when your personality is strong
The road to your future looks sunny and bright
With future lie untold
With happiness and mistakes
Time to change the lives of those around you

Each year gives you a great beginning in life
Every day there is a new opportunity that life want you to grab
So try something that's daring and different
When you turn sixteen
