Words by Kat Raynor-McKay
Music & Vocals by Brian Raynor

(Verse 1) I've been walking down this road so many miles,
Carrying a suitcase full of tears and trials,
Every scar every word left unsaid --
I've been holding on to the pain and dread.

(Chorus) It's time to open up that suitcase,
Let the hurt and anger go,
Like leaves in the wind, watch them scatter,
It's time to find the strength to grow.

(Verse 2) For every love that turned to dust,
And every friend that lost my trust,
I've been weighed down by memories and fears,
But I'm ready to dry these weary tears.

(Chorus) It's time to open up that suitcase,
Let the hurt and anger go,
Like leaves in the wind, watch them scatter,
It's time to find the strength to grow.

Bridge) Each heartbreak is a lesson learned,
A chapter in the book I've turned,
But now it's time to write anew,
With pages free and skies of blue.

(Verse 3) I've carried the burden for far too long,
But with every step I'm feeling strong,
The road ahead is clear and bright,
I'm leaving the past and stepping into the light.

(Chorus) It's time to open up that suitcase,
Let the hurt and anger go,
Like leaves in the wind, watch them scatter,
It's time to find the strength to grow

(Outro) So I'll pack away the sorrow and pain,
Set it free like a gentle rain,
With an empty suitcase and a hopeful heart,
I'm ready to embrace a brand-new start.
