Isn’t it strange how when you try to blame the way you feel
On something else
But it won’t go away
It just keeps on coming again and again
Like a haunting
And you know
You must face it
You’re searching for the way to go
So many roads and you worry so
That it’s never going to change
Fighting fire with fire and screaming
And it’s always, the same old storey
So what are you going to do?
Release, let it go
Find a way to let it flow
Release, let it go
Find a way to let it flow
Isn’t it cool how if you take the time to look around
Inside of you
You can feel yourself rise
No need to run no need to hide
You’re open, surrender, flowing
I’m reading all the signs you leave
You don’t know all the things I see
And it’s never going to change
Fighting fire with fire and screaming
And it’s always the same old storey
So what are you going to do?
Release, let it go
Find a way to let it flow,
Release, let it go
Find a way to let it flow.
Let go, let go, oh find a way
To let it flow
Let go, let go, oh find a way
To let it flow.
Mmmmmmm
