Throw All Your Cares Away

Throw all your cares away, let's just go flying But flying isn't as freeing as I thought it might be For I'm carrying the weight of things left behind on my shoulders And I don't want to let anything go And will someone please tell me where I'm going Because none of these places feel right And I'm so far away from the people who know me When will things feel right The course I take is daunting and I am insecure Everything around me's overwhelming and I feel too obscure And I didn't prepare for the wind and the directions that it would blow me in And I didn't prepare for the fog and how much of my clarity it would exhaust And will someone please tell me where I'm going Because none of these places feel right And I'm so far away from the people who know me When will things feel right And I didn't prepare for the heartbreak, the pieces of me Chicago would take How many parts of myself I've given to friends to ensure that they stayed But I remember how tired I was of being beckoned and deceived, lied to and naive But I pray that all this weight will find its way back to me someday And will someone please tell me where I'm going Because none of these places feel right And I'm so far away from the people who know me When will things feel right So we throw our cares away and we go flying And we let ourselves feel as free as we've always wanted to be
