about
This song arrived as a gift in a desperate moment.
It remains a powerful ally when I'm resisting impermanence.
lyrics
I'll let go of your body and soul
I'll let go of your body and soul
I'll let go of your body and soul
Let us both free to roam
Through this world
And all its colors and shapes
Let these tongues take in every taste
Learn to love that which never stays
i'll let go, i'll let go, i'll let go
And when i cry out the wounded child
Who wails with each season passed
i'll hold her in my arms so tenderly
As she screams: nothing lasts
Now child, it's fine to cry
But when you miss me, look to the sky
Though body and soul can roam
My spirit's with yours, at home
I'll let go of your body and soul
I'll let go of your body and soul
I'll let go of your body and soul
Let us all free to roam
Let us all free to roam
