Welcome aboard, please watch your head
Take a seat wherever you'd like
No judgment here, at this midnight hour
Your worries can't be seen in the night
Leave space for your neighbors, as you'd like for yourself
All these thoughts leave little room to spare
Did you feel as if you were alone?
We've all felt heavier than air
If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn
The boilers have built up a head of steam
And the captain's given us a go
It's up to you what we do now
Do we stay or find where the winds blow?
Whatever happened, before tonight
It's you who arrived on your own
A journey's first steps are often the bravest
And exact the greatest toll.
If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn
Wherever we go... it's time to get started
New lands below... all of them uncharted
Feel the engines rumble beneath your feet
Snatch victory from the cloud of defeat
It's all just ballast
Strike your balance
If we cling to our burdens, we'll never take flight
And remain here as we always were
The past is never as heavy as it seems
And its lessons keep us upright in turn
