Let It Sing

Let it sing.

Let yourself surrender. Let yourself receive.

This path, who knows

Only the way knows the way

Let yourself relax. Breathe. Be messy.

Let yourself bend, let yourself fray

Nobody is perfect

We are all just trying our best

Sometimes we fail, sometimes we fall

We want to give it all up

When we feel there’s nothing left

Sometimes we want to scream:

It’s too hard. It’s too much. Help!

And we question what it all means

Yet, in every ounce of suffering

Underneath each breath

Sotto voce, you are here

Find the courage to be

Let it sing.

Your tears are your prayer

There’s nothing to prove

And nowhere else to be

Breathe, let yourself care

Surrender to the truth

Of what you’ve been afraid to see

It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to scream

It’s okay to hurt, to be broken, to be angry

To have done wrong, to have given up

To accomplish less than your dreams

It’s okay to be human

This is the gift, it’s been here all along

You deserve to feel love

You matter. This is your soul’s song

So let it sing.

This wealth, an endless pool of meditation

Of quiet, of thoughtless being

The bliss in the space between

The first breath and the final note

Don’t hold back, you’ve got it

Take up space. The world is waiting

Let it all go.

Let it sing, let it sing, let it sing

Let your fullness of life into being.

Your heart holds no bounds

There is no louder sound

Let loose the cannons of your dreams.

Praise, exclaim in God’s name

Scream at the top of your lungs

Canta.

Canta!

CANTA!

Aha!
