Packing the things that I love most My guitar; to play on when my heart is low A love song, to sing for someone new And my smile, for when I'm feeling blue The memories of my youth are safely packed away You never know, I might need them one day And then I'll go out into the world Where I will feel, I'm flying like a bird To live the life, that I've been dreaming of No dead-end streets, no broken love And then I'll go out into the world Where I will feel as free as a bird I've burned my boats and I've cut loose from you To let the sun shine for me too Troubles I'll leave them all behind And also my diary, the mirror of the years gone by My photos I grant them to you dear 'Cause they remind me of my bitter tears The memories of my youth are safely packed away You never know, I might need them one day And then I'll go out into the world Where I will feel, I'm flying like a bird To live the life, that I've been dreaming of No dead-end streets, no broken love And then I'll go out into the world Where I will feel as free as a bird I've burned my boats and I've cut loose from you To let the sun shine for me too And then I'll go out into the world Where I will feel as free as a bird I've burned my boats and I've cut loose from you To let the sun shine for me too To let the sun shine for me too
