Letting Go
As all journeys this one too must come to an end
The ship has been built, we hoisted all sails
Loaded with treasure I seized from all lands
The Kingdom lines the streets to bid farewell
As the vessel comes astir I see the shores fade away
And suddenly I wonder how long it takes
Until they turn their heads
Now I find my carcass afloat the waves
It's getting harder to hold on to all these things
I've taken with me to bring comfort to the pain
This is not what I envisioned in my mind
None of this is helpful to my quest
It's just useless ballast, holds me back
Do I have to let it go? Let it go
It's all that I have left
Was I delusioned all this time?
I looked all the wrong ways
With nothing left but my poor soul
I'll melt this heart of stone
My whole life I travelled all around this world
Yet now I find I am as blank as I was born
Ignorant as before
I neglected the journey into my self
A king to the world yet to me I'm strange
Is it all to late for me
Or has time lost its grip anyway?
Reroute this course
I have opened my eyes
There is one last treasure to be raised
I have finally realized this the one true way
Let go of all my earthly desires
Unbound from fear and from my greed
I find wholeness and live from it
May the world be transformed by my light
Encompassing all I have no opposite
Leave a trail of healing in my wake
I was delusioned all this time
I clung to all these things
My greatest fear was not to die
But to be forgotten
I sought salvation all around
Denied the God within
Now nothing's left and all is gone
But a blessing
The ship has been built, we hoisted all sails
Loaded with treasure I seized from all lands
The Kingdom lines the streets to bid farewell
As the vessel comes astir I see the shores fade away
And suddenly I wonder how long it takes
Until they turn their heads
Now I find my carcass afloat the waves
It's getting harder to hold on to all these things
I've taken with me to bring comfort to the pain
This is not what I envisioned in my mind
None of this is helpful to my quest
It's just useless ballast, holds me back
Do I have to let it go? Let it go
It's all that I have left
Was I delusioned all this time?
I looked all the wrong ways
With nothing left but my poor soul
I'll melt this heart of stone
My whole life I travelled all around this world
Yet now I find I am as blank as I was born
Ignorant as before
I neglected the journey into my self
A king to the world yet to me I'm strange
Is it all to late for me
Or has time lost its grip anyway?
Reroute this course
I have opened my eyes
There is one last treasure to be raised
I have finally realized this the one true way
Let go of all my earthly desires
Unbound from fear and from my greed
I find wholeness and live from it
May the world be transformed by my light
Encompassing all I have no opposite
Leave a trail of healing in my wake
I was delusioned all this time
I clung to all these things
My greatest fear was not to die
But to be forgotten
I sought salvation all around
Denied the God within
Now nothing's left and all is gone
But a blessing
