The world awaits, with open skies.
Mom's in the waiting, holding on tight,

A place of dreams and new beginnings.
But in my heart, there's a storm of feelings,
As I send my love while the world keeps spinning.

The walls are bare, the floors are cold,
Echoes of laughter, memories untold.
Boxes stacked high, filled with my fears,
As I take this step, I hide the tears.

A place of dreams and new beginnings.
But in my heart, there's a storm of feelings,
As I send my love while the world keeps spinning.

Through the battles, I'll carry your song.
Every milestone, I feel your embrace,
In this new world, I find my place.

For all my hopes, for the love we share.
Though the distance seems to grow each day,
In my heart, you never fade away.

So I'll dance alone under the stars,
Knowing our bond will carry me far.

With you in my heart, I won’t fall at all.
