[Intro]
(Shake it loose!)
(Let it go!)
No need to carry everything
Wherever we go!
[Verse 1]
I’ve been dragging all this weight
From yesterday’s mistakes
Extra worry, another scar
Down a road that’s gone too far
[Refrain]
Now that I’ve dropped the baggage
(It’s a much lighter package)
Leaving behind the damage
(It’s a much lighter load…)
… movin’ on down the road
[Verse 2]
I don’t need to prove a thing
Or wear the weight that others bring
Keep the lessons, lose the chains
Let the sunshine through the rain
[Refrain]
Now that I’ve dropped the baggage
(It’s a much lighter package)
Leaving behind the damage
(It’s a much lighter load…)
… movin’ on down the road
[Bridge – Half-Time Groove]
Don’t confuse…
(Letting go!)
With giving up…
(No, no, no!)
I keep the wisdom
I leave the pain
I won’t keep walking
In yesterday’s rain
No more anchors
(No more chains)
No more carrying
(Someone else’s blame)
What’s ahead?
(A brand-new view!)
What’s behind?
(I already knew!)
Lighter!
(Brighter!)
Keep on moving!
(Keep improving!)
[Final Refrain]
Now that I’ve dropped the baggage
(It’s a much lighter package)
Leaving behind the damage
(It’s a much lighter load…)
… movin’ on down the road
Now that I’ve dropped the baggage
(I’m no longer dragging that)
Leaving behind the damage
(No more living in the past)
… movin’ on down the road
[Outro]
Drop it!
(Leave it behind!)
Shake it!
(Free your mind!)
Lighter load…
(That’s the way to go!)
Lighter load…
(Just let it go!)
Movin’ on…
(On and on!)
Down the road…
(Down, down, down)
No more baggage…
(Much less damage!)
Ahhh… a lighter load…
