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. 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. 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
