Dear Marilyn

I feel your energy, feeling your heartbeat
I see all the things you did in life without me
It's crazy to think I was the only one givin'
But you're the one with the power, raising us up
It's weird to think I let the hard times win
But you let the hard times build you up
With no one to hold your hand, with no need for relevance
You went against the world and still showed it up

Everyone said, "Don't be different"
Go against the grain, you feel you're indifferent
Forced me in a labeled box full of scars and it triggered it
The depression and the fears, I laid in it

I fell in it, couldn't get up
Everything around me, it fell down and piled up
Then you came, and sang your beautiful heart out
You never allowed us to lose sight or sell out

Dear Marilyn, you're here now
My heart's full and it's livin' loud
It's time for you to go, oh yeah
So take my hand and enjoy this ride
It's time to let you go
This letter's to you, oh yeah

You were surrounded by fake love and opportunists
You lost yourself through the booze, and love life
But you never gave up, you found yourself
Now we can say that I did it again, mama

You were in the room with the biggest names
Perform on center stage, created art from our hardest days
I'm sorry, I know you're forced to forget
But now it's time to let it go, and it's time to forgive

I know when he put his hands on me, one night
Started that reaction and it shook us
You took me out of my head, I became numb to touches
That's when our minds shifted to men, always up to something

It's crazy to know no one gave a fuck about it
It's great to know the world screams all about it
You didn't let it break you, you prayed about it
Grace, angels, and your spirit pulled you out it

Dear Marilyn, you're here now
My heart's full and it's livin' loud
It's time for you to go, oh yeah
So take my hand and enjoy this ride
It's time to let you go
This letter's to you, oh yeah

Ooh
I love you, Marilyn (ooh)
I wish you the best
You gotta lose to win it
And I now I went ahead and learned from ya
I love you, Marilyn
