Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt
Thats not the way I see the road ahead
Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps
I'm breaking free, I'm on my own
Before I could stand and walk
I had a voice that'd always put me down
I grew up tall but stayed small in my mind
I didn't have the strength to sit up straight and tall
Every step with apprehension
I couldn't relieve this tension
But today I've got something new to sing
Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt
Thats not the way I see the road ahead
Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps
I'm breaking free, I'm on my own
It's so easy to lie when you can't see
The path that you burn behind you
You can't tell just which way you're going to
When you refuse to get where you belong
Being me just like I shoulda'
No other way if I coulda
Time shows no shortcuts only truth
Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt
Thats not the way I see the road ahead
Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps
I'm breaking free, I'm on my own
You can't stop me
I can only stop myself
You can't make me
I can only make myself
You can't teach me
I can only teach myself
But in time
Yes in time I'll learn to say
Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt
Thats not the way I see the road ahead
Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps
I'm breaking free, I'm on my own
