I'm leaving today
Living it
Leaving it
To change

Slowly drifting
Into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied and twisted
Are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags
Finally on the move

I'm leaving today
I'm living it
Oh I'm leaving it
To change

As I'm driving
I'm captured by the view
So much beauty
The road becomes my muse
The heat is rising
And my hand surfs through the wind
Cool, calm, collected
Is the child that lies within

See I'm leaving today
I'm living it
Oh I'm leaving it
To change, oh yeah

See I'm leaving today, oh yes I'm
Living it
Oh I'm leaving it
To change

But somehow I miss it
I think I'll really miss it
One day, oh

I turn up the radio
And I'm feeling like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of
Yester-years and broken dreams I bring
Finally free, ooh

Slowly drifting
Into a peaceful breeze, oh
Oh

Ooh yeah
I'm leaving today, oh yes, I'm
Living it, oh yeah
Leaving it to change
To change, oh no

See I'm leaving today, oh yes, I'm
Living it, living it
Leaving it, leaving
To change
Oh, oh

I'm leaving today
Oh I'm living it
I'm leaving it to change
Living it, to change
Leaving it
To change
Ooh, oh yeah

Living it, leaving it
Said I'm living it
I'm leaving it
Living it, leaving it
To change
I'm leaving it to change

But somehow I miss it
I think I'll really miss it
One day, yeah

    Yes, it is so inspiring and liberating. Along with Soar, the most emotional part of Stripped (which is quite deep in fact). It's about letting go...something that tied you back and that you will surely miss, a part of you. But it is necessary, for you need to move on. Her voice is so strong and yet touching and it shows her emotion, and listening to it live...it moves you even more. I appreciate so much her work.
