Release

When you open your heart and you open your mind

You might be surprised what you will find

People more willing to say yes than no

A thousand doors to where you want to go

Strange new places, unfamiliar faces

Sprinkled with only the slightest traces

Of home, of the past

Try to make the moment last

Because after you blink

There’s no time to think

Of what you would’ve changed

Left out or rearranged

The present is fleeting

It’s here and it’s gone

Breathe in, the night is greeting

You, breathe out and it’s dawn

Don’t look back, no regrets

Move on but don’t forget:

Life is a journey, full of ups and downs

With wanna-be kings all vying for the crown

Of success and wealth, of things that don’t matter

As much as the stuff that could heal or tatter

Your soul, like love or a human connection

These are the signs that give us direction

But to follow your heart, you must let it lead

So give it the very release that it needs

When you open your heart and you open your mind

You might be surprised what you will find.
