Just touched down in a strange new land,  A twinkle in my eye,  A compass in my open hand,  I’m here, a pioneer,  I understand, what this all entails  And the hourglass is running out of sand    Check my heading as I depart  Like the beating of a drum  Drum the beating of my hungry heart  I know there’s more to go  So make me stop (stop, stop)  I’ll do the best I can  Now I’m ready to embark    Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll be glad you did  Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings    Left right left and I’m on my way  A hustle in my step, a hustle really can convey  I’m outdone   I wanna run to reach a place  The place a need to be  So I really should be keeping up the pace    Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll be glad you did  Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings    Surrender  I surrender [x4]  Now or never[x2]  I surrender  Now or never    (Ah Ah Ah Ah)    Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll be glad you did  Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings    Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll be glad you did  Leaving is the hardest thing  But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings    (Ah Ah Ah Ah)
