[VERSE 1] It is time to let go— to let go of everything I hoped for but never received. I had wanted a sheltered childhood, with parents attentive to my needs and my suffering, instead of being alone facing the harm, facing the obliviousness, facing the callousness, facing the stupidity. [Chorus] There are many of us. I am one of you. [VERSE 2] I had wanted to be loved just as I am; I had wanted to be “normal”— even if I’m no longer sure what that means. I had wanted not to be so sensitive, not to ask myself so many questions, not to step into their shoes so often, not to pity them so much. Perhaps I would have been less broken— I truly don’t know. [Chorus] There are many of us. I am one of you. [VERSE 3] Sometimes I still wonder what I came to do in this family of madmen... And then I remember what “those above” told me not so long ago: “Redeem the lineage, lift it out of these endless repetitions, out of the violence and the secrets. You will be the scapegoat, the sacrificial lamb, but you will never be alone. Never alone.” [Chorus] There are many of us. I am one of you. [VERSE 4] I wish I had known that sooner. I think there are many of us in this situation today— redeeming lineages, lifting them out of cycles of abuse, speaking the Truth, bringing it into the Light. [VERSE 5] There are many of us. I am one of you. Wherever one of us passes, a path opens for all the others. None of us is alone. None of us is alone. You are my true family. You are. [OUTRO] It is time to let go of everything else. It is time to let go of everything else.
