I'll Let Go
Embracing Freedom: Journey of Surrender
Lyrics
I've been hangin' on for so long
I've been holding on for a significant duration.
And never hoping for a thing
I haven't had hope or expectations during this time.
You say that I am bound for good, and
You claim that my situation is permanently set, and
A bit of faith'll give me wings
A small amount of faith can give me the courage to soar.
Well am I flyin', am I fallin'
Uncertainty whether I am rising or falling,
Here at the edge of everything
Standing at the brink of everything.
Am I the tired fool for tryin'
Questioning if I'm a foolish person for persisting,
Here at the edge of me
At the verge of self-discovery.
Take me now, to the end of my rope
Expressing a willingness to reach the end of endurance,
Beyond what I think I know
Exploring beyond the limits of my knowledge.
Lay me down in the autumn leaves
Imagining being laid down in the fall foliage,
Hold me
Longing for comfort.
And I'll let go
Committing to letting go.
Woah, woah, I'll let go
Reiterating the resolution to release and surrender.
Spent too many miles trippin'
Acknowledging the wastefulness of dwelling on past experiences,
On who I was and I could be
Reflecting on who I used to be and what I could become.
Am I surrendered, and I driftin'
Wondering if I've submitted and am drifting away,
Is that old fight a-leavin' me
Contemplating if the old battles are departing.
What do you do with an undoin'
Pondering what to do with the undoing of expectations,
Of what you thought you had to be
Challenging the preconceived notions of who I should be.
Well
An open-ended expression or pause in the narrative.
I'll cut my hair and go out singin'
Symbolic gesture of change – cutting hair and singing under oak trees,
Beneath the old oak trees
Embracing transformation and nature.
Take me now, to the end of the road
Echoing the desire to reach the end of the journey,
Beyond what I think I know
Venturing into the unknown.
Lay me down in the autumn leaves
Imagining a peaceful end, lying among autumn leaves,
Hold me
Craving support and comfort.
And I'll let go
Reaffirming the commitment to let go.
Woah, woah, I'll let go
Repeating the declaration of surrender and release.
Woah, woah, I'll let go
Reiterating the intention to let go.
Woah, woah, I'll let go
Emphasizing the determination to release and surrender.
