The Art of Letting Go

There are times

When love soaks you to the bone

'N then those moments leave you wonderin'

If you'll lose your mind or lose control

Life is nothing without love

Love is nothing if not freedom

They tell me the gates of hell

That you shake 'n you rattle

Are secretly locked from inside

You hope 'n pray you'll find

The one thing on your mind

Not until you know

The art of letting go

'N it may seem to be

Defying gravity

That's because they know

The art of letting go

You may think

You built a present perfect world

And you may wonder to yourself

Does anyone really know what else could ever matter?

But the man with his hand

On the hammer

Wears a velvet glove

Does the rich man know he's poor?

Does the beggar care for much more than survival?

When you look into the eyes of children laughing

Do you remember who you were?

Or who you are?

Life is nothing without love

Love is nothing if not freedom

They tell me the gates of hell

That you shake 'n you rattle

Are secretly locked

From inside

You hope 'n pray you'll find

The one thing on your mind

Not until you know

The art of letting go

'N it may seem to be

Defying gravity

That's because they know

The art of letting go

You hope and pray you'll find

A love to last all time

Not until you know

The art of letting go

And it may seem to be

Defying gravity

That's because they know

The art of letting go

You're dying to believe

In love eternally

Not until you know

The art of letting go

And it may seem to be

Defying gravity

That's because we know

The art of letting go

You can't go through it

Without going through it

'Til it goes through you

'Til you know the truth
