How can you move when they're weighing you down What can you do when you're tied to the ground, yeah You carry your burdens, heavy like gravity Just let them go now, there's freedom in release You can't run when you're holding suitcases It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid Just breathe, your load can be lifted There's a better way when you know you're forgiven Open up your heart, lay down your guard You don't have to be afraid Can you imagine what it's like to be free Well, send those bags packing, they're not what you need Abandon your troubles on the side of the street Just let them go now, believe me You can't run when you're holding suitcases It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid Just breathe, your load can be lifted There's a better way when you know you're forgiven Open up your heart, lay down your guard You don't have to be afraid There's nothing hold you back now, just run You can't run when you're holding suitcases It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid Just breathe, your load can be lifted There's a better way when you know you're forgiven Open up your heart, lay down your guard You don't have to be You don't have to be afraid
