New, inviting, wonders never known Never dreamed someday I'd call this home Cast away my shine, let fall my sparkling grace For a new face Where my heart would sit, I feel it race Once you leave the past behind, you realize how stuck you were What a thrill to start anew, be here with you, delight in Mother Earth Just imagine what they'd say if they knew one day I'd leave it all behind My life is mine And I'm leaving it all behind Have I pushed too far? Return, my bliss This is not how I envisioned this See the pain in far too many broken eyes Their piercing cries Echo through the skies Can't go back now, here I stay An endless future in my hands Have I made a grave mistake? Will feelings change? Still I stay right where I am Cannot fix what's broken, but the future grows beyond the boundless sky The choice was mine To leave it all behind
