Some birds will fly away to the
Horizons warmer days, summer
Feels better than the blistering cold
I long for more than this doing
A job just so I live I know
My soul's vision can't be changed

Some day soon, I'll travel to find me
And this abyss ain't as dark as I feared
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
To capture the moments I love the most

This is my great escape
This is my great escape
I want to climb up mountains
Drink from natures fountains
Who knows what I'll do on my way
I want to be lost in transit
Find love in a different language
Who knows who I'll meet on my way

Now I'm sure this is what I needed
Space to roam and be completely free
I was once told whilst growing up
"If you want to leave then go while you can
Before you get stuck, before you become
Another cog in that working machine
Well that's not me so

So I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
To capture the moments I love the most
I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
To capture the moments I love the most

This is my great escape
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
