Going away
Today's the day that you are going,
Nothings going to stop you or get in your way,
You’ve packed all your bags, your leaving for good,
You’ve lived here for 4 years,
And like always they had their bad times,
But every time I pick my bags up,
I keep thinking,
Chorus
I don’t want leave here,
This is where I belong,
You’ve got to find your heart,
Find your soul reach out for your very goal
And then you will know ,
Where you want to go
Verse
You get to school,
All you friends burst into tears,
You say that you are scared ,
And you have your fears,
But you know that you got to go,
So don’t let them get in your way,
These words keep coming through your head
Chorus
I don’t want leave here,
This is where I belong,
You’ve got to find your heart,
Find your soul reach out for your very goal
And then you will know ,
Where you want to go
Bridge
Why don’t I just leave all this behind?
Its like they have put out a red sign,
I'm in my car, I'm on my way
Can't wait for a brand new day
Cause I’m going away.
