Holding on to the Pain

It's time to let go of the rain

By holding on to the pain,

Can you see what's wrong?

By holding on to the pain,

I want you to see my sad song

By holding on to the pain

I’m saying it wasn’t fair

By holding on to the pain

I’m feeling that they didn’t care

By holding on to the pain

I will make you see I am right

By holding on to the pain

I will continue to fight

By holding on to the pain

you can’t live again

By holding on to the pain

you can’t let go

By holding on to the pain

you can’t let those good feelings show

By holding on to the pain

you can’t truly grow

By holding on to the pain

you will never gain

By holding on to the pain,

it will destroy you inside

By holding on to the pain

it makes you want to hide

What if for today

I put that anger away

and listen to what you have to say

and know it’s not about me

and just let it be

and look for the good

the joy

the light

and not the plight

I want to let the pain go

down the river and watch it flow

please be patient with me

this isn’t how I want to be.
