My friend why do you whip yourself With the leather of you life Why do your memories build like the Poison in your eyes You're re-running the mistakes In the theater of your mind Hoping that there'll be A happily ever after this time Let go, let go, let go And forget what you know You fear you've walked too far In the hemlock forest and you are lost But what error could you invent With more power than the cross Let go Your sin is not an axe Let go That can fell the sacred tree Let go Your regret is not a net Let go That can dredge the forgetting sea A wise man once told me When I was dying just the same The past can be like sidewalk chalk If you will dance and pray for rain Let go, let go, let go And forget what you know Let go Your sin is not an axe Let go That can fell the sacred tree Let go Your regret is not a net Let go That can dredge the forgetting sea Let go
