Come outside
into the light
of a summer sun,
let it burn away
insecurity, self hate and shame.
Let’s go
far away
from this place,
from yesterday.
Where the warm sand
meets water,
meets sky.
Right now – we can start again.
Right here – we don’t need a plan.
We’ve been trapped too long in the war,
let’s see what we’ve been fighting for.
Step outside
into the night,
lit by the moon
and the bonfire burns.
All of our days
past are gone.
There are new ways,
new paths to tread.
These are new days,
that drew you in.
How could something this right be wrong?
Let’s go
out into the night.
The darkness holds its secrets
that we’re going to find.
When the new day comes
we will be long gone,
open up your eyes
and walk into the light.
The journey is a break
from that cycle,
day to day
and freedom feels great
when you finally step away.
When you let go of your chains
and take a leap of faith;
you were meant for this escape.
Fated for a jailbreak.
