Lyrics
(Verse 1)
For 22 years, through highs and lows,
We thought we'd stay together forever, that's how it goes.
But then came the day you wanted to break free,
With fire in your eyes, you left the old life behind, you see.
(Pre-Chorus)
You said you wanted to be free,
Like Moses wandering through the desert, just to be.
But I stood there, lost and alone,
Until I found my own voice, and on my path, I was gone.
(Chorus)
With drums and trumpets, you left Egypt's shore,
While I stayed behind, picking up the pieces once more.
But now, one year later, I can see,
It was the best that you left, my friend, it was meant to be.
[instrumental]
(Verse 2)
Years went by, and I found my bliss,
In the arms of a new love, I finally reminisce.
I don't regret not following you that day,
When you went your way, I found my own, okay?
(Pre-Chorus)
You said you wanted to be free,
Like Moses wandering through the desert, just to be.
But I stood there, lost and alone,
Until I found my own voice, and on my path, I was gone.
(Chorus)
With drums and trumpets, you left Egypt's shore,
While I stayed behind, picking up the pieces once more.
But now, one year later, I can see,
It was the best that you left, my friend, it was meant to be.
(Bridge)
I wish you luck on your journey,
May life grant you all that you yearn to see.
For I've found my own world to call home,
And it was the best that you left, my friend, now I roam.
(Chorus)
With drums and trumpets, yes, you left with a shout,
But now I'm here, with my own house to tout.
I'm glad I didn't follow you through,
For it was the best that you left, my friend, it's true. (oh yeah)
[instrumental]

end
(Chorus)
With drums and trumpets, yes, you left with a shout,
But now I'm here, with my own house to tout.
I'm glad I didn't follow you through,
For it was the best that you left, my friend, it's true. (oh yeah)
