Because sometimes we forget to let go and forgive


We walk around our towns and cities

Going about our daily lives for this and that

Along the way we here the abject committees

Their opinions forced upon us as though they spat.

Yet even within our closest allies

Our those who lies and those who belies

And for all the freedoms I do hold

I'm constantly and even now, always told.

Enough!

Not everyone is here to be a friend

There is no hope if we all pretend

That those who make us cry

Will for our friendship, every try.

Freedom can only come when we learn to let go.

Take those binds, grasp the chains, and break them all

Seize a break, see the sun, just say to all the pain, no.

Take the words of those who care and drown the drawl.

Seek a mirror, see the shimmer and smile wide

You're more than this and always have been.

Let yourself soar, and see the world on a mile high glide

Forget the pain, just let it go and show your sheen.

The world smiles and the wind flies

Let it take you and forget the lies.

Freedom only comes when you learn to let go

Spread your wings, let your beauty glow.
