You arrived without warning
Like messages in a bottle arrive
You took away what was about to come
How foolish I was, what naivety
I left the door half-open
For fear of facing my reflection
But on seeing myself in the mirror I simply smiled
Because here I am, I never left
I have a suitcase full of memories
I have the hope of someone who conquers fear
I go, as always, as before, taking giant steps
I only look ahead in case the cold comes
I was really lucky, I discovered what it is to love myself and I understood
That there are more than a thousand reasons and one song yet to write
I have seen the water run
The corners with more light than I have imagined
I have hugged myself very, very tight in case the storm comes
Because here I am, and I'm going to be
I have a suitcase full of memories
I have the hope of someone who conquers fear
I go, as always, as before, taking giant steps
I only look ahead in case the cold comes
I was really lucky, I discovered what it is to love myself and I understood
That there are more than a thousand reasons and one song yet to write
That I have felt panic about falling with both feet
The strength of a hundred seas, a thousand volcanoes, and a cyclone
I go, as always, as before, taking giant steps
I only look ahead in case the cold comes
I was really lucky, I discovered what it is to love myself and I understood
That there are more than a thousand reasons and one song yet to write
