No Weight

We talk about dreams like we're going places
no certainty, but wishes we are chasing
get out of here, let the past disappear
oh, times are changing

so pack your suitcase and hit the road
leave the baggage, just let it go
no weight, no weight, don't wait
the pain on your shoulders is a heavy load
so lay it down, let your guard fall
loosen your grip but hang on tight
let the past wave goodbye, say hello to new light

Often it seems like we're falling under
while the bullets are all flying over
got to escape, turn away from the shame
oh, you're not fading

so pack your suitcase and hit the road
leave the baggage, just let it go
no weight, no weight, don't wait
the pain on your shoulders is a heavy load
so lay it down, let your guard fall
loosen your grip but hang on tight
let the past wave goodbye, say hello to new light

you could turn back the clock, or move on
whatever you need to keep you strong
follow your heart's advice, or take a risk
however you play the game, you're gonna win
it's rushing now through your veins
don't slow it down, just run, or stay
so free,your soul has no weight
