Hanging On
JILL PHILLIPS, JILL ANNE PHILLIPS
The weight I fastened on trying to make my world run
Almost pinned me to the floor
I could not orchestrate one solitary day
And the more I worked I found my efforts all in vain
I believe that I need to let go of these things
To be free
So help me stop this hanging on
All my worry got was more of what I did not want
A love of power and control
Every hour running kept me in my starting place
When I finally rested I began to win this race
There is only so much I can do with these two hands
Precious is the freedom when I finally understand
That I need to let go of these things
