[performed by Zac Efron (Troy) & Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella)]

[Troy:]
Living in my own world 
Didn't understand 
That anything can happen 
When you take a chance 

[Gabriella:]
I never believed in 
What I couldn't see 
I never opened my heart (oh)
To all the possibilities 

[Both] 
I know that something has changed 
Never felt this way 
And right here tonight 

This could be the start 
Of something new 
It feels so right 

[Both:]
To be here with you 
And now looking in your eyes 

[Gabriella:]
I feel in my heart 

[Both:]
The start of something new 

[Troy:]
Oh, yeah,
Now who'd of ever thought that 

[Both:]
We'd both be here tonight 

[Gabriella:]
Yeah, And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you by my side 

[Both:]
I know that something has changed 
Never felt this way 

[Gabriella:]
I know it for real 

[Both:]
This could be the start 
Of something new 
It feels so right 
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes 
I feel in my heart 

[Gabriella:]
The start of something new 

[Troy:]
I never knew that it could happen 
Till it happened to me 

[Gabriella:]
I didn't know it before 
but now it's easy to see (Ohh)

[Both:] 
It's a start of something new 
It feels so right 

[Gabriella:]
To be here with you 

[Both:]
And now looking in your eyes 
I feel in my heart 

That it's the start 
Of something new 
It feels so right 

[Gabriella:]
To be here with you 

[Both:]
And now looking in your eyes 

[Gabriella:]
I feel in my heart 

[Gabriela:] 
The start of something new

[Troy:]
The start of something new 

[Both:]
Start of something new
