Let Me Go
Embracing Freedom: Letting Go of Ties
Lyrics
I've got one
I have a burden or responsibility.
On my shoulder
Carrying a weight on my shoulders.
I've got two
I have two burdens or challenges.
In both hands
Handling challenges in both hands.
And this far, as far as I wonder
As far as I explore or wander.
They always call me back
Despite my exploration, I'm always called back to my responsibilities.
Won't you let me fly
Expressing a desire for freedom.
Won't you let me go
Requesting permission to be released or liberated.
So you run
Someone is running, possibly escaping or avoiding.
From here to there
Running from one place to another.
You run
Repeating the idea of running, emphasizing movement.
From where you're from
Running away from one's origin or past.
Dance laugh
Engaging in activities like dancing and laughing.
Pretend you don't know
Pretending ignorance about being alive and stuck somewhere.
That you're here alive
Acknowledging one's existence in the present moment.
And there stuck somewhere
Feeling stuck or constrained in a particular situation.
Play louder, louder
Encouraging to play music louder to distract from caring.
So that I won't care
Increasing the volume to avoid caring about the situation.
So that I won't care
Repeating the idea of avoiding emotional involvement.
Won't you let me fly
Reiterating the desire for freedom and permission to fly.
Won't you let me go
Reiterating the request to be let go.
Won't you let me fly
Emphasizing the plea to be allowed to fly.
Won't you let me go
Repeating the request to be set free.
Yes I love you, but I've got to let you know
Expressing love but acknowledging the need for personal freedom and departure.
Yes I love you, but I've got to let you know
-Yes I love you but it's time for me to go
-Tell me are you fine
Asking about the well-being and safety of the person.
Tell me are you safe
Seeking assurance of freedom to pursue one's own path.
Tell me I'm free to go my way
Confirming the freedom to go one's own way.
Tell me getting ahead
Ensuring that progress doesn't disappoint or betray.
It ain't letting you down
Emphasizing that moving forward shouldn't let anyone down.
And breaking apart
Stating that breaking apart is not a betrayal.
It ain't holding your hand
Highlighting that independence is not abandoning support.
Won't you let me fly
Reiterating the plea for freedom and release.
Won't you let me go
-Won't you let me fly
-Won't you let me go
