Letting Go

Wars
No, I can’t win them all
Oh my darling
What are we fighting for
Stolen 
By a love that is forced
Like an ocean

I was washed to the shore
You call out
Like echoes in the storm
They fade
Into the great unknown
High hopes

It’s like I’m too afraid to come down
And then I start to feel
The walls as they crumble and fall
And the darkness that I know
Has a spark and a glow

Now I’m reaching out with arms
That are learning to grow
And I’m finally letting go
Far from the world that I made

I keep running from the lies
That would drive me insane
I was always holding on
To the anger and pain
But I’m finally letting go

Days
I’ve been locked in my thoughts
I keep swimming
Against waves of support

Darling
I don’t know where you’ve gone
But my shoulders
Now they’re steady and strong
You call out

Like echoes in the storm
They fade
Into the great unknown
High hopes

It’s like I’m too afraid to come down
And then I start to feel
The walls as they crumble and fall
And the darkness that I know
Has a spark and a glow

Now I’m reaching out with arms
That are learning to grow
And I’m finally letting go
Far from the world that I made

I keep running from the lies
That would drive me insane
I was always holding on
To the pain and the shame
But I’m finally letting go
