Take the weight off
Of your shoulders
You don't need
To carry it anymore
Take a look down
At your feet
You'll see they're not swollen and sore
You can let yourself run
Let your thoughts drift
To places and people
That remind you of what makes you you
Dream big, dream small,
Dream of anything
Let your imagination out into the blue
You can let yourself run
Open your mind to
The crazy idea
You don't need
A reason to try
Look through old photographs
And letters you wrote
Before life left you sitting high and dry
You can let yourself run
And wherever where you're running to now
It won't be the same as before
The corners of your character have changed
You're asking for less and you understand more
Take the weight off
Of your shoulders
You don't need to
Carry it anymore
Take a look down
At your feet
You'll see they're not so swollen and sore
You can let yourself run
I know you're not done
