i'm glad you're moving away.
step out of my shadow, step out!
it's hard walking out of a bumpy ride and
almost impossible to remain unscathed
after it, but step out, just step out!
i know you can. just like i know i can
stand in the rain unburdened again.
step out girl, step out. just step out of it all,
cast the old skin behind, you're a butterfly now, nothing can hold you back.
just step out, girl, step out of it all.
sing, dance, play in the rain.
throw memory to the wind and never take it back,
not even if it's thrown right back into your face.
still, step out girl, step out.
run up that hill and collapse breathless in the long overgrown grass,
roll over your side and contemplate the view.
dash to the swings and touch the sky,
step out girl, step out,
and breathe.
