Letting Go Lyrics


It's a long, hard road
Through a rough edged land
To the softest part of a manAnd it's lined with stones
Tangled with regrets
That are just too hard to forgetThere's rusty signs
Overlooked on the way
To the heart of a troubled manAnd you can loose yourself
In the deep, muddy ruts
Worn through by the pride of a manBut, letting go... ?In a lonesome field
There's a wild-eyed mare
Tied to the weight of a manAnd she once ran free
With the wind in her hair
Breathing hard for the love of a manHe won't let her be
She won't let him rest
'Till he learns how to forgiveBut, letting go... ?Forgiveness is a falling leaf
In the changing of the years
As it settles down to the cooling groundLet it go
Let it go

Let it go

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

It was the cat-poles around the lake at his grandfather’s farm that inspired Ben Sollee’s debut album Learning To Bend. The frailty of those awkward looking plants standing stoutly against winds that challenged even the strongest of nearby trees is an affecting metaphor for human struggle and perseverance. This idea is central to Learning To Bend.
Key tracks on Learning To Bend include two reactions to the current political landscape, “A Few Honest Words,” and an adaptation of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come,” in which Ben has written updated, politically relevant verses.
