Letting go...

I went and did yoga this morning and the "theme" of the class was letting go.  There are so many things that I could "let go of" in my life right now which is one of my challenges....letting go of control.  If I could figure out how to do that, I think that a lot of my stress would be alleviated.  This song came on during savasana and made me realize that there is a lot more that I am holding onto than I thought.  I have been trying to hold on to the way things have been for a long time, and at the same time, I am trying to hold on to an illusion that I have control over how my life is to move forward.  This leaves me struggling in a very frustrating limbo while I watch all of the people in my life moving forward.  This song brought back a lot of good memories and made me see that I need to look forward to new memories and the news songs that will go with them.....making myself actually do this is another story.

When You Come Back Down

You gotta leave me now
You gotta go along
You gotta chase a dream
One that’s all your own
Before it slips away

When you’re flying high
Take my heart along
I’ll be the harmony
To every lonely song
But you’ll learn to play

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I keep looking up
Waiting your return
My greatest fear will be
That you will crash and burn
And I won’t feel your fire

I’ll be the other hand
That always holds a line
Connecting in between
Your sweet heart and mine
I’m strung out on that wire

And I’ll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I’ll catch you when you fall
Catch you when you fall

The memories, the sunshine
Every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel let me help you with your wings

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down

Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
