lyrics

I am a ruddy combination of the judgment of my father and the sorrow of my mother
I am the disappointed victim of the long and trying absence of my one and only brother
I have forgotten the redemption of my past humiliation at the age of close to seven
I have remembered every insult that was thrown at my young tender heart at ages like eleven

I’m letting go, letting go of the child that I’ve been
I’m moving on, moving on as the future’s moving in
And I have hope, I have hope that all of my remaining glory stands undimmed


I am the unelected critic of the choices of my sisters and the foibles of my friends
I am a multiple offender who is too proud to surrender and too scared to make amends
I’m not a silence in the background or a voluntary statement on the state of our affairs
I’m more a single-winged robin, just to make it to the garret I will have to mount the stairs

I'm letting go, letting go of the lies that I’ve believed
I’m holding on, holding on to truth spoken over me
And I am strong, I am strong, I am strong, I am bending at the knees

And the lamp unto my feet is burning dim to say the most
With an empty palm held out I’m at the table with the Host
From the flip side of the tapestry I’m gnawing at the knots
But these strings will hold me in my place and tell me what I’ve got

I’m letting go, letting go of the life inside my fist
I’m holding out for the light at the end of all of this
And I believe, I believe there’s no meant to be that’s ever really missed.
