These are your first steps on your own,
The farthest youve ever come from the safety of your home
For so long youve been waiting just to leave this life behind,
And anxious to get on with what will be

Oh the things, that you'll see
Oh the things, that you'll see

And as time goes, more and more,
You're farther away from all you knew before

You're turning your collar to the cold
You wanted to see the world, but now you're getting old
And after all you think it might be time you settled down,
And when you return to where you used to be

Oh the things, that you'll see
Oh the things, that you'll see

After all the years you roamed
You're finally glad to call this place your home

Oh the things, that you'll see
Oh the things, that you'll see

And you're finding, more and more,
You never really knew what you thought you knew before
