I always try to put some meaning or lesson in the lyrics of my songs. And I’m always amazed that I am the person who needs to heed the lesson the most. This song became sort of a personal theme song for this album. I’ve delved deeply into Eastern Philosophies and drawn great comfort from the insight they provide. But I still need a reminder every now and again. Just Let It Go...


Let It Go (click for sample)

Why are things always so complicated? Do you think you know?
Why do you always anticipate it? Can’t you let it go?
Why are you always in such a hurry? What do you think you’ll find?
Why do you always look so worried? Can’t you free your mind?

Let it go…Let it flow
You gain nothing by your grasping
Let it come and when it’s done
There’ll be no more need for asking?
Then you’ll know to let it go

Why do you try to control the here and now
When you really don’t have any power over anything anyhow?
When you tighten up your grip, that’s when it all begins to slip
Just when you think you know, that’s when you have to

Let it go…Let it flow
You gain nothing by your grasping
Let it come and when it’s done
There’ll be no more need for asking?
Then you’ll know to let it go

And when you finally do
You will see the world
Open up to you

Let it go…Let it flow
You gain nothing by your grasping
Let it come and when it’s done
There’ll be no more need for asking?

Let it go…
Let it go…
