Verse 1

 * Day by Day, Night by Night
 * Everything just feels the same...
 * Sometimes I start to ponder
 * What can I do?
 * What could I be?
 * My mind just starts to wander



Pre-Chorus 1

 * Suddenly, I feel a light of energy
 * Shining out the door
 * Step by step, I start to feel a change
 * And the closer I get...
 * I start to realize...
 * My whole world starts to rearrange



Chorus 1

 * I'm ready to go to places unknown
 * Where the sun is always shining
 * There's so much to see, so much to do
 * Where I can be free from confining (Yeah!)
 * Taking a breath and smelling the flowers
 * Feeling the clear blue raindrop showers
 * This is the way it should be...
 * Now that we can finally be set free



Verse 2

 * While I'd love to stay
 * I gotta be on my way...
 * There so much more beyond here
 * Family, Friends, and others
 * Are where my heart belongs
 * Even if I can't see them appear



Pre-Chorus 2

 * I just can't take the loss
 * Deep inside myself
 * I'd take all of the blame
 * If I had just one wish
 * I'd take it all back
 * Cause it just doesn't feel the same



Chorus 2

 * I'm ready to go to places unknown
 * Where the sun is always shining
 * There's so much to see, so much to do
 * Where I can be free from confining (Yeah!)
 * Taking a breath and smelling the flowers
 * Feeling the clear blue raindrop showers
 * This is the way it should be...
 * Now that we can finally be set free



Bridge

 * I'd love to be in a new place
 * Free from boredom and doubt
 * But I can't change where I am
 * That's what it's all about



Chorus 3

 * I'm ready to go to places unknown
 * Where the sun is always shining
 * There's so much to see, so much to do
 * Where I can be free from confining (Yeah!)
 * Taking a breath and smelling the flowers
 * Feeling the clear blue raindrop showers
 * This is the way it should be...
 * We can be together, just you and me


 * You and me!
