I hold the wind it slips away
Like sand through fingers can't make it stay
The tighter I grip the more it flies
A quiet truth behind my lies
Let go let go it's all I hear
A whispered echo near my ear
I fight the pull but it won’t slow
The hardest part is to let go
A faded photo on the shelf
A memory of a younger self
The edges torn the colors bleed
Time moves on it doesn’t plead
I keep on running chasing time
But every step feels out of line
Let go let go it’s all I hear
A whispered echo near my ear
I fight the pull but it won’t slow
The hardest part is to let go
Hands open wide to catch the rain
But nothing fills this hollow pain
To hold too tight is to lose it all
Sometimes you have to watch it fall
