[Verse 1]
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight
Traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again
[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
[Verse 2]
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting
Down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind
[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
[Bridge]
Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees
Through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me
And now I can see my way out
[Chorus]
I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
Gonna have my breakfast with some pink champagne
I'm gonna sail the ocean
I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Gonna do everything
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight
Traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again
[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
[Verse 2]
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed

All I had to do was make up my mind
[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know

I'm gonna sail the ocean
I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain
