all the light that's in the world
couldn't let this shadow fade
there is no amount of joy
that could reason with this rage
i have self-inflicted wounds
carried out from underneath
and a world of unwanted truth
sitting just out of reach."

let go what you are holding
let breathe your aching palms
if hatred is disaster
then weightlessness is calm
i made a new beginning
by pushing toward the sun
and there i felt a warmth like everything was one

there was a time i fell as low as i could come,
but i made a new beginning, pushing toward the sun
there i felt it all
get free of right and wrong
forget your sorry song

i fear the day of the coming change
and you forget that we are the same

let go what you are holding
