''<ab>When you lead with your heart
''<ab>When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start
It's so scary at the start
But that's the hardest part
But that's the hardest part
And trust me, it gets better
And trust me
It gets better


I finally know where I belong
I finally know where I belong
(Where I belong)
This is the way the weak grow strong
This is the way that we grow strong
 
I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming
Me</ab>''

''<ab>When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start

And trust me
It gets better
 
I finally know where I belong

With you
I'm becoming
Me
 
I've worked hard
Come so far
It's my story
I'm the star
And the road I'm on
Could go until forever
 
Every day there's something new
Every day I share with you
 
I've got a feeling

With you

We're looking for new horizons
Let's go explore new horizons

*** In [[HZ003]], it is displayed as {{background|000|&nbsp;{{color|FFF|# I finally know / where I belong}}&nbsp;}}.
