RELEASE
STORY
The title track — a song about the courage it takes to surrender what you can't control. Release is about loosening the grip: closing your eyes, holding your breath, and taking the leap of faith. Sometimes letting go is its own kind of strength.
LYRICS
Walk upon the wire
Follow your urge to turn and run
Burned by your fire
Left alone to come undone
Close your eyes, hold your breath, and take a leap of faith
No more time to second guess, the sweet release of simple grace
Release all the sorrow in your soul
Release all the things you can't control
Release, release
Dance upon the wire
I let myself come all undone
Baptized by fire
Follow your heart, just turn and run
Release all the sorrow in your soul
Release all the things you can't control
Release, release
Hung from the wire
I take my time, I take it slow
You hold to your fire
Innocence remains, don't let it go
Release all the sorrow in your soul
Release all the things you can't control
Release, release
Release, release
