You can sit here and listen
to your own heart beating
alone in the prison you've
made of your past
and nurture the pain so it will last
You can play "what if" scenarios
and beat yourself up in stereo
turn up the songs that cut you deep
until you're bleeding in your sleep
But no matter how long you cling
it won't change a thing, no it won't change a thing
the sun and moon will rise
Wake up and open your eyes
The rest of your life is a beautiful mystery
You sacrifice your future for your history
If you want to see the full moon
shining on the new mountain snow
I have the solution
give yourself absolution
from this pollution
and let it go
just let it go
You can drink the same poison
that you have been drinking
drunk on regret,
with your trophy of pain
and number the questions 'til you go insane
You can play "what if" scenarios
and beat yourself up in stereo
turn up the songs that cut you deep
until you're bleeding in your sleep
But no matter how long you cling
it won't change a thing, no it won't change a thing
the sun and moon will rise
Wake up and open your eyes
The rest of your life is a beautiful mystery
You sacrifice your future for your history
If you want to see the full moon
shining on the new mountain snow
I have the solution
give yourself absolution
from this pollution
and let it go
just let it go
let it go

Once more you have said it all. Now all you have to do is believe it, live it. After all, we believe in you. GHAJR
I had to check that this was a published song, because it is so powerfully clear and apt. But it is yours - and is a wonderful sign of healing. Something has changed within you - and things will never be the same again. Take flight and soar.
Soar!!
This is so empowering. The emotions and feelings that you are able to transmit through your writing are so powerful. I love your blog. I can particularly relate to this blog "Let it go".
