'Let Go' by Bryan Divisions

I wrote this song about letting go of old trauma and pain. I've learned that this is a lifelong process, but the more we can let go of old issues and baggage, the more free we become each and everyday to experience our own personal sense of peace.

Yeah, these dramas and burdens have kept my soul hurtin'

I'm searching for ways to make this life start working

Purging what keeps me from growing,

Knowing I should let go of these old energies that I've been holding

Never going back to what didn't work,

Why should I suffer and hurt in this place where all my demons lurk

Gotta search through my soul and discern,

Transcend all my shadows and darkness so I can learn, that it's time to turn

To a new direction, I'm protectin'

My soul at it's deepest levels from devils who are affecting, I'm reflectin'

Light through my vision and attention,

Focused on energies that I'm accepting, they're at my discretion

'Cause I only resonate with light,

Bring knowledge of the day forward to the night, gotta keep the dream in sight

And sometimes life ain't seeming right,

So I'm staying focused and I know that I'ma keep this dream alive

I just have to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go

I might need to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go

Leave it behind for someone else to find

Don't need this pressure weighing on my mind

All of this doubt is just too much to hold

I have to be strong and finally Let Go

It's leaving right in front of my eyes

This wasn't reality, just a life that's been in disguise

I felt my demise, I felt the divide, my ego died,

Didn't survive, nowhere to hide, confronted with lies

Of who I am when I see I'm not worthless

the one inside who truly knows he has a purpose

Transcending the moments he's feeling nervous

Tapped into the fire of his spirit's furnace

He's truly learned this could be the way

The way out of suffering

The deepest truth of his life, he's discovering

After many nights wondering if his ideas will take light and start coloring

Life in new ways that exist in the spirit

Filled with compassion he might be getting near it

Persisting with passion to reach his new path

Allowing all these changes to forever last

He just has to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go

He might need to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go

Leave it behind for someone else to find

Don't need this pressure weighing on my mind

All of this doubt is just too much to hold

I have to be strong and finally Let Go

"You don't have to be stuck, (I just have to Let Go) where you think you're stuck (Yeah)

Not when you let it dissolve like this, not when you trust the unseen" (I just have to Let Go)

Never ask: 'How do I do this?'"

And now I see what's been holding me back, living in the past

Unable to bask in the present 'cause presence I lacked

Thought I knew the facts

Then life crashed, happened so fast

Fell through the cracks and didn't know where I was at

Trapped in my thoughts, reality was breaking down

I watched it all rot as it retreated back into the ground

Believed it was my fault that my foundation wasn't sound

And now truly I've been taught, there's a message to be found

Leave it behind for someone else to find

Don't need this pressure weighing on my mind

All of this doubt is just too much to hold

I have to be strong and finally Let Go

I just have to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go

I might need to Let Go, yeah

Let Go, Let Go
