It clings to me when I walk It's noticeable in my voice when I talk It holds me back from my dreams It takes away the gleam From my eyes And makes me despise My own voice My own face Myself It's inevitable it seems These feelings, they deem, Control over my mind It's becoming so hard to find Out how to make it stop So I am no longer a prop No longer a toy No longer a victim Finally free. I'm learning to let go To make it bestow All it's false power upon me To not let it change the way I see The stage light shining down And my voice that never lets me down

Letting Go
It clings to me when I walk It's noticeable in my voice when I talk It holds me back from my dreams It takes away the gleam From my eyes And makes me despise My own voice My own face Myself It's inevitable it seems These feelings, they deem, Control over my mind It's becoming so hard to find Out how to make it stop So I am no longer a prop No longer a toy No longer a victim Finally free. I'm learning to let go To make it bestow All it's false power upon me To not let it change the way I see The stage light shining down And my voice that never lets me down
