Release

I release the pain that lives inside me

In my heart and in my mind

I release the pain that was given to me

From my ancestors and now it’s mine

I release

My spirit guides will guide me

They put messages in the clouds

My guardian angel is right beside me

And my grandfather’s looking down

I know that I have been supported

I know what it all means

I release the pain inside me

I release the pain inside me

A melody finds me when I need it most

A stranger’s song becomes a sign

The words drift in like a whispered ghost

Reminding me I’m walking the right line

This is my calling, this is my purpose

Healing the wounds that were never shown

What was buried beneath the surface

I carry it forward, I carry it home

I release the chains of every mother

Who swallowed her grief and carried on

I release the silence of every father

Whose pain became the words of this song

I release

This is my destiny unfolding

The bridge between the past and the free

Every generation’s worth of holding

Ends here — it ends with me

I release the pain inside me

I release the pain inside me

I release

I release
