Let Go

I'd like to believe this cloud has a silver lining,

That after the the rain will come the day

But for the remainder of this night

There's only a storm cloud in my way.

So I'm sorry if I failed your expectations

But I never said I had it all under control.

It's kind of hard to walk on water

When all you see is the waves crash and roll.



And all my life I've been trying to find a way to tell you so

But you always lead me here and say "Follow me and do not fear

You won't fall below so just let go."



All I want to be is just like you

Someone who will make you proud

So when I'm leaving this earth

In heaven, I'm what they're talking about.

But the trouble with being self-righteous

Is treating your acceptance like a race.

No matter how hard I've been running

I'll always be here in last place.



And all my life you've been trying to find a way to tell me so.

So your angels lead me here and say, "If you fall we'll catch you, dear.

You won't cast a foot against a stone so just let go."
