Letting Go Is Not Dropping Everything

[Verse 1] A thought appears. Then another one attaches. A memory comes in, and suddenly I am inside a story with my name in it. The body has already answered. The breath is smaller. The jaw is tight. [Chorus] Letting go is not dropping everything Letting go is not dropping everything I can hold less and still be here [Verse 2] Just let go. Sometimes that sounds less like freedom and more like a cliff. So I try to force the feeling away, and find my hand is still closed around the thing I want to release. [Chorus] Letting go is not dropping everything Letting go is not dropping everything I can hold less and still be here [Verse 3] But I see the first thought now. I do not have to add the next one. I am not the waves. I am the water they move through. The sound is here. The body is here. The earth is here. Not to erase what is happening. Just to let me feel it without becoming all of it. [Bridge] I may need to hold this again later. For now, I can let it rest. [Final Chorus] Letting go is not dropping everything Letting go is not dropping everything I can hold less and still be here I can put it down and not disappear [Outro] The earth is still beneath me. I have not lost what I put down. For a moment, I do not have to carry everything alone.
