With every step, my heart beat race
As I feel an urge to flee this place
An overwhelming desire to escape
And leave my worries in the shade

The world outside beckons me so bright
A siren's call that I cannot fight
The urge to run, to leave it all behind
And find a peace of mind

My feet they itch to hit the road
To leave this place that I have known
To find a new horizon, a new land
Where I can stand and be free

The thought of staying here, it pains
A constant ache that never fades
The urge to run, it grows so strong
And I must give in, it's not wrong

So I'll pack my bags and take a flight
And leave this place that holds me tight
For a new adventure, a new start
And leave my worries in the heart.
