[Verse 1]
Have you ever held a snake?
So strong, so gentle
Wrapped like a living rope
Moving in every direction through The grass
[Pre-Chorus]
They are amazing creatures
Extraordinary and near
They teach us how to change How to leave the past here
[Chorus]
Shed the skin, shed the skin (hold on, let it go)
Shed the skin, shed the skin (what breaks can make you whole)
Let the old fall away
Let the new one in
Shed the skin, shed the skin And begin again
[Verse 2]
Snakes must shed or die
That lesson cuts deep
What once kept them safe
Can choke them in sleep
So pain can be a door
When the life you knew is tight You lose what holds you back And step into new light
[Pre-Chorus]
As painful as it is
To loosen and release
That's how we survive
That's how we find peace
[Chorus]
Shed the skin, shed the skin (hold on, let it go)
Shed the skin, shed the skin (what breaks can make you whole)
Let the old fall away
Let the new one in
Shed the skin, shed the skin And begin again
[Bridge]
Watch where you step
Never reach blindly
Stay on the trail
Respect what you can't see
Don't try to move or touch
What doesn't ask for you
Some truths stay wild
And they know what to do
[Final Chorus]
Shed the skin, shed the skin (hold on, let it go)
Shed the skin, shed the skin (what breaks can make you whole)
Let the old fall away
Let the new one in
Shed the skin, shed the skin And begin again
