I wrote this song with the incredible Kevin Hunter. He and I sat across from each other, and we decided to write a lullaby. He said "imagine you are standing on the edge of a stage and could speak to the whole world. What would you say?" This is what we came up with....
lyrics
LET GO THAT WEIGHT
Doesn’t matter what was said
Come in from the cold you’re wet
All the devils in your head
Let it go now
Do you think that you deserve
Everything that makes you hurt
See an end at every curve
Let it go now
Let go that weight
Give it to me
Have a little faith
That’s all you need
Lay your head down
Let yourself cry
And I will hold you tonight
Easy come and easy go
Lately it’s look out below
If you think you’re going too slow
Let it slow down
Chorus
Don’t hold tighter
Open wider
Nothing here is real
