Her dreams didn't fit back home
So she had to up and go
Lay your head back down and go to sleep
With the darkness comes quiet and peace
Hold on tight until the morning breathes
May the daylight clear your mind
You shrinkin' yourself for others is not the way it is meant to be
Stand tall, soldier on your pathway
Fly alone for a while if you need
You are not for others to keep
If your dreams don't fit back home
You have to up and go
Pack your bags and leave if you must
You cannot always be what they want
Pleasin' people is a happy chore
But don't forget that you deserve to live
Your own, your own, your own
Bottle up your courage keep it close
Your heart's much braver than you credit her for
Listen closely to her whisper
You've been runnin' for so long
If your dreams don't fit back home
You have to up and go
Pack your bags and leave if you must
You cannot always be what they want
Pleasin' people is a happy chore
But don't forget that you deserve to live
Your own, your own, your own
You might not feel like you're ready to leap
Outside this nest waits a world to be seen
It's callin' to you with its arms open wide
Don't be afraid oh don't be afraid
You might not feel like you're ready to leap
Outside this nest waits a world to be seen
It's callin' to you with its arms open wide
Don't be afraid oh don't be afraid ah
Don't be afraid oh don't be afraid o' your light
Pack your bags and leave if you must
You cannot always be what they want
Pleasin' people is a happy chore
But don't forget that you deserve to live
Don't forget that you deserve to live
You were always only meant to live
Your own
