send a rocket ship to outer space or a submarine under the sea
yet nothing is more foreign to her, than the changes in close proximity
unafraid and unaffected two things that she wishes she were
yet the truth is that pain and influence are quite well acquainted with her
but she knows that if she’s going it’d better be now
and I swear she will soar, from the highest peaks this world has to offer
and I know she’ll be heard, at the top of her lungs she screams her name
oh sweet victory!
oh sweet victory!
as the runners take their places, as the crowd holds their breath
something inside so strong, tells her: “this’ll be the best one yet,”
there will be no promises of false glory; no concern if discoveries made will go down in history
no worries about names any more, just the calm inside; the being free
freedom that she knows that she’s going, and she’s leaving now
and the tears that she sheds could fill ten million oceans of despair
but losing chances to fears is worse than drowning in tears
and once you’re out there, once you’re out there, in the wide open air,
oh the places you’ll go
