Let Me Go
Liberating Love: Breaking Free from Fear
Lyrics
Let Me Go
Expressing a desire for freedom and independence.
See I can still remember when
Recalling a past moment when a significant relationship was established.
You said you were my only friend
Reflecting on a time when the person considered the other as their sole friend.
Yeah Mr. Fear you captured me
Acknowledging the influence of fear in controlling the individual.
I was blinded and couldn't see
Describing a period of being unaware and unable to perceive real love.
That real love was bound to come
Anticipating the arrival of genuine love in the person's life.
And confront what I was running from
Acknowledging the need to face and confront personal issues or fears.
(He) opened up my eyes and let me know
Attributing newfound insight to someone or something that opened the person's eyes.
That I don't need you no mo'
Asserting independence and declaring that the presence of fear is no longer necessary.
(CHORUS)
Repeating the desire for release and freedom.
Let me go, oh let me go
Specifically requesting to be let go.
Yeah let me go
Reiterating the plea to be set free.
Oh let me go, go
Continuing to express the need for liberation.
Time to time I must remind you
Stressing the importance of periodic reminders that the relationship has changed.
That we're not tight the way we used to
Highlighting the diminished closeness compared to the past.
Before you tell me what you came for
Instructing the other to leave before discussing the reason for their visit.
Turn and walk out that door
Emphasizing the need for the other person to depart.
Mr. Love now resides here
Announcing the presence of love in the person's life, overpowering fear.
He's strong enough to cast out fear
Characterizing love as strong enough to dispel fear.
And since I don't belong to you no more
Affirming the end of any connection with the addressed person.
Take your hand off my shoulder
Commanding the other to release physical contact or influence.
(CHORUS)
Reiterating the desire to be set free.
