When I left my finace at 25 I was terrified
Mostly I was scared of being 30 and alone
But yesterday - I turned 30 and I haven't died

I woke up this morning and my parents were on the phone

They sing me happy birthday

They get better every year
My mom gets the time that I was born all wrong
But this is the year

that I face all my fears
I'm not looking back
I'm looking forward and singing this song


I'm going to Peru
And I'm not sure when I'm returning

I'm going to Peru
I'll keep this fire burning
Carried by the love of my friends and family

I'm going to Peru
To be what I'm going to be


30 felt like my own personal apocalypse
I needed to be married or have the job of my dreams
But I think that I've been too obsessed with this

And I've missed all of the love that's busting at the seams

This year I really felt it

As friends have shown all week
The kind of love that I've always wanted
I'm strong and I'm surrounded

By people who love me
I've got everything I need, I'm telling you I've got it


I thought I was alone and then I looked around
And I was so, so surprised by what I found
I thought I hadn't grown at all and then I looked to see

I've grown taller than a redwood tree

I'm going to Peru

And I'm not sure when I'm returning
I'm going to Peru
I'll keep this fire burning

Carried by the love of my friends and family
I'm going to Peru
To be what I'm going to be


When I left my fiancé at 25 I was terrified
Mostly I was scared of being 30 and alone

But yesterday - I turned 30 and I haven't died
I woke up this morning and my parents were on the phone


They sing me happy birthday
They get better every year
My mom gets the time that I was born all wrong

But this is the year
that I face all my fears
I'm not looking back

I'm moving ahead singing this song

I'm going to Peru

And I don't know when I'm returning
I'm going to Peru
And I will keep this fire burning

Carried by the love of my friends and family
I'm going to Peru
To be what I'm going to be


I thought 30 was my own personal apocalypse
I needed to be married or have the JOB of my dreams

But I think that maybe I"VE been too obsessed with this
And I've missed all of the love that's been bursting at the seams


This year I really felt it
I can finally see
The KIND OF LOVE I've always wanted

I'm strong and I'm surrounded
By people who love me
I've got EVERYthing I need, I'm TELLING you I've got it

I thought I was alone and then I looked around

I was so, so surprised by what I found
I THOUGHT I hadn't grown-at-all, and then I looked to see

I've - grown - taller - than a redwood tree


I'm going to Peru
And I don't know when I'm returning
I'm going to Peru
And I will keep this fire burning
Carried by the love of my friends and family

I'm going to Peru
To be what I'm going to be
