Backstory:
I wrote this song over a five year span after a close friend lost his wife in a terrible accident, my father had passed away, and my son was diagnosed with cancer. It's a personal song but relatable by almost everyone. This song was used in an ABC network series episode.
Lyrics:
From zero to a problem don't take long
Sometimes there's no stoppin' what goes wrong
We're told what don't kill you makes you strong
But that's a point of view I'm still workin' on
Lettin' go - is the hardest thing I know
Open up that window that looks right into my soul
And lettin' go
It was a normal Tuesday when my father died
A peaceful Sunday when my buddy lost his wife
An average Wednesday when I learned my son had cancer to fight
Now they're days that I'll remember my whole life
Lettin' go - lettin' all the feelin's show
Lets my heart release the guilt, the grief and forgiveness that I hold
By lettin' go
When a cold hard truth first drives me to my knees
I don't know who to curse or to believe
So until I'm back again on solid ground
Some days I will swim but some I'll drown
Lettin' go - is the hardest thing I know
Open up that window that looks right into my soul
And lettin' go - lettin' all the feelin's show
Let my heart release the guilt, the grief
The anger that spills out of me
To accept the way things cannot be
Means forgivin' myself for - lettin' go
From zero to a problem don't take long
The only way that I'll move on - is lettin' go
