Letting Go
Embracing Liberation: Ken Hensley's Reflections on Moving Forward
Lyrics
Images of Nikki Lynn came drifting through my head this morning
Recollections of Nikki Lynn surfaced in my mind this morning.
Long forgotten memories from oh, so long ago
Memories from a distant past that had been forgotten for a long time.
And it made me start to wonder why it is this often happens
Questioning why such recollections occur frequently, pondering the difficulty in letting go.
Why we have a problem sometimes simply letting go?
Reflecting on the challenge of releasing attachment to the past.
What value lies within the past, what use is waiting there?
Contemplating the worth of past experiences and the purpose of dwelling on them.
Why spend so much time wondering when perhaps I shouldn't care?
Wondering why invest time in reminiscing when it might be unnecessary.
Do the lessons of our past mistakes really make the future brighter?
Questioning whether learning from past errors genuinely enhances the future.
Is it something I should dwell upon, is it something I should share?
Uncertainty about whether to focus on past experiences or share them.
Why can't I let go?
Expressing frustration at the inability to release attachment.
Why can't I let go?
Reiteration of the frustration of being unable to let go.
I will let go
Commitment or affirmation to release attachment and move forward.
I will let go
-I will let go
-I will let go, o-o-oh
-We all have things that we're convinced
We all possess things we believe we cannot live without.
We can't live without
Metaphorically linked to being inseparable from something doomed.
Joined at the hip to a sinking ship
Feeling surrounded by uncertainty and hesitation.
Surrounded by a sea of doubt
Suggesting our aspirations should exceed our current limitations.
Our reach should be bigger than our grip
Our ambitions should transcend momentary gratification.
On temporary satisfaction
Turning past experiences into learning opportunities for future actions.
Make the finite infinite, the past behind us
Advocating for leaving the past behind and focusing on the present.
Lessons learned, a course of action
Emphasizing the importance of learned lessons guiding current actions.
Now I must let go
An acknowledgment of the necessity to let go.
Now I must let go
Reiteration of the acknowledgment to release attachment.
I will let go...
Affirmation or commitment to letting go, emphasizing resolution.
I will let go, o-o-oh
