A holy man once said to me when I was talking about how I wanted to surrender, he said:
"Not you; you fight and fight and when you can't fight anymore, then you let go."
Down by that river
That flows over Jordan
Sail all those angels
But nobody saw them
Love was the music
That ran through my heart
That it opened my life up
Then it tore me apart
I don't know when it happened
Or when it will end
There are no rainbows
Of what might have been
CHORUS
The more that we struggle
The less we are free
Entangled in heartbreak
Cold lies and deceit
'though God is much wiser
We still seek to know
Try as hard as you can
And then you let go
Try as hard as you can
And then you let go
Let me swim where the clouds pass
And never look down
I will love you forever
'though I fall to the ground
Will it grant me a freedom
Will it make me forget
Are there dreams still coming
That I haven't dreamed yet?
Will I fall in the moonlight
Will the dust give me shade
But I cry in the darkness
Will I ever ever escape?
CHORUS
The more that we struggle
The less we are free
Entangled in heartbreak
Cold lies and deceit
'though God is much wiser
We still seem to know
Try as hard as you can
And then you let go
Try as hard as you can
And then you let go
