Pick up your things

Pick up your things…and run
Throw the weight across your shoulders,
Tighten up the straps and you’re gone
You can leave things on my doorstep
If you don’t have the room
The room to get it all.
To get it all.

And the clouds will open up and let you in
Daisy-chasing days will wear your dark expressions thin
And you will fly across the ocean
You will sail across the sea
And see the things that I have only dreamed
But will you not forget me…
please?
Will you not forget me please?

Pick up your coat….and go.
Your bus is leaving and you’re right on time
You’re right on time, right on time and right on out the door
If you leave now you can catch a ride
You can…throw all your cares behind you where you kiss the sky
Kiss the sky…

And then the clouds will open up and let you in
Daisy-chasing days will wear your dark expressions thin
And you will fly across the ocean
You will sail into the sun
And you will see the things that I can only dream
But will you not forget me…
please?
Will you not forget me please?

The clouds will open up and let you in
Daisy-chasing days will wear your dark expressions thin
And you may fly across the ocean
You will sail into the sun
And you may find your place along the coastal shore and evergreens
You might feel that you’re beginning
But at least you’ll strike out on your own
You can always find your bearings here, you can always call this home
Here in this place, stuck in a meadow that you know that you can always go
Your sanctuary and your refuge that we…
We will not forget you, no.
We will not forget you.

So pick up your things…..and run.
