Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving like a flash of light
That shone once and was gone.
Safer to go than to stay,
Better to learn than to wait,
I’m going. I’m flying.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving and I’m coming back
A new woman.
Out of my life and into my dreams,
Born once again,
I’m running away.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving like a gust of wind
You feel only for an instant.
I’m ready to jump,
I’m ready to fall,
I’m ready to go.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving and I’m coming back
A new woman.
To care for myself,
To leap into the unexpected,
To grow like a flower in the rain.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving like the moon leaves
In the morning light.
Like rain that falls from full clouds,
My thoughts cascade and flow
Into carved paths time digs into the ground.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving and I’m coming back
A new woman.
Leaves fall and bloom again in spring;
So do our spirits fall, only to again
Be replenished with happiness.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving like the seeds
Leave the swaying trees.
Like a seed, bursting from earth
So I have grown too,
A flower not yet fully blossomed.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving and I’m coming back
A new woman.
Promise is there—
The promise to experience
With a face upturned toward the sun.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving like yesterday
That turns into tomorrow.
Exit—here I go,
I’m leaving and I’m coming back
A new woman.
