Lyrics

The new day glistens like a jewel,
safely held behind a glass.
A pretty token of a promise made
to neither future nor the past.

Let it go.
Just let go.

Step out into the morning sun,
a disk so bright it’s hard to see.
The light feels warm upon this skin,
a thin membrane containing me.

Let it go.
Just let go.

I am not lonely.
I am not alone.
I am not afraid.
I am not at home.

The others appear as points of light,
a thousand stars against a sky.
How many light years hence have flown
these quanta of truth and of lies?

Let it go.
Just let go.

I am not the dark.
I am not the light.
I am not wrong.
I am not right.

A thousand needles every day.
A thousand reasons not to stay.
Where’s the balm to take the sting?
We find it in the song we sing.

My portion has been meted out,
a point in time, no more, no less.
What meaning, then, am I to make?
The one I’m unable to contest.

Let it go.
Just let go.

I am not an island.
I am not the sea.
I am not empty.
I am incomplete.

A thousand needles every day.
A thousand reasons not to stay.
Where’s the balm to take the sting?
We find it in the song we sing.
We find it in the song we sing.
Find it in the song…
