The Art of Letting Go

Here I was fighting, trying to beat the wind

Everything that I put up ended up blowing down again

Here I was running, trying to beat the sun

It overtook me, turned out the lights when it was done

Now I see that there’s no use in holding on so tight

Keep pushing my head up against a stone

Need to believe that everything’s gonna be alright

Here’s the art of letting go

Here I was dancing, trying to make it rain

The heavens looked down on me, said that poor boy’s insane

Here I was racing, trying to make up time

That second hand kept ticking, won’t lend me one lousy dime.

Now I see that there’s no use in holding on so tight

Keep pushing my head up against a stone

Need to believe that everything’s gonna be alright

Here’s the art of letting go

All this space around me

I stepped into the light

And fell into, fell into a new day

All I needed was a little help to open up my eyes

And get out of, get out of my own way.
