Goodbye to you, my dear, I'm on my way
Off to find a new horizon just beyond today
All along the road ahead, a mystery for sure
I'm scared at first, but I'm ready for what tomorrow has in store
As far as the eye can see, I'm alive
No turning back, stay on track and survive
Without you, better days are in my hands
I will miss all those good times
Off I go to the promised land
Eight years is a long time to get to know someone
The ins and outs, ups and downs, what makes each part work
I understand why you did what you did, what you thought you had to do
Hell, maybe I would have done the same if I was walking in your shoes
As far as the eye can see, I'm alive
No turning back, stay on track and survive
Without you, better days are in my hands
I will miss all those good times
Off I go to the promised land
Now the sun shines on a new day as I walk outside my door
What's in the past, I will leave it there and I'll live my life once more
Well, you know it hurts, probably always will, can't let it hold me down
As months go by, turn into years, I return to solid ground
As far as the eye can see, I'm alive
No turning back, stay on track and survive
Without you, better days are in my hands
I will miss all those good times
Now I live in the promised land
