Leave your baggage behind...
I stretch my hands to touch the sky
Yet something holds me behind
My eyes try to reach that distant star
In any way I can find.
The dreams that we long cherish
Need a single moment of courage
The difficult paths are always trodden alone
you'll never find an entourage.
I hear opportunity knock on my door
Yet try to pretend it's not there.
The fear of an impostor lurks in my heart
A failure is something I wouldn't dare.
The imagined fear of failure
The rumour of risk and uncertainty
Is the baggage that weighs me down
Along with a misconception of responsibility.
I become a shadow of myself
And pretend I'm not there.
It's a battle between my dreams and fears
The winner would decide how I'd fare.
As my dreams finally vanquish my fears
Confidence clears my mind
I hear opportunity screaming at me now..
"Leave your baggage behind"
