Let Go of Me

God in heaven
What is this wall, rising so tall?
Voices of burning scholars
Crying my name
I was the same but shunned them
Should I jump in? Let it begin
Sear me until I'm worthy
There they all lurk, flashing my work before me

So calmly, gently
I'll step inside and turn to dust
Then let go of me

How do they burn? I want to learn
How I can reach their stature
Biting the air without a care or worry
Look at them fly, joining the sky
Ready to touch its beauty
Knowing their place in its embrace forever

So somehow, someway
The light could hold me as I learn to let go of me

My faithful loving wife
What if you don't return?
How could I continue on?
I should have burned
Now I will burn

Look at this flame, how we're the same
Now I will dance with demons
Here face to face, I will embrace the darkness
Soon in a flash, turn into ash
Rising into the heavens
Learning to fly, saying goodbye forever

Then calmly, gently
My soul will finally be at peace
Yes, somehow, someway
This burning flame reveals my fate
To let go of me
