She was just walking away
She made up her mind to find another road
She left behind her baggage cast away
Travelling light
no longer waiting for the day
She was just walking away
There wasn't a lot left to say
Defending her reason kept her locked in place
Sacrifice the ghosts of sanity
Suddenly free
there wasn't a lot left to say
She was just walking away
Check your dreams at the door
Come inside, pretend you're alive
Take an illusion and look for some more
Forget there was ever a reason
a reason you were born
It took time to discover
the choices were her own
The blanket of fear, the bitterness brew
she let inside her door
Time to remember the dream
Time to recall that she was born to succeed
Nothing ventured guarantees a fall
Remembering love
there wasn't a lot left to say
She had to be on her way
Leave your fear by the door
Step outside, you'll feel so alive
Forget the illusion that love keeps a score
Time to remember the reason
the reason you were born
