Forget What You Know

My friend why do you whip yourself

With the leather of your life

Why do your memories build like

Poison in your mind

You're re-running the mistakes (of your mind)

In the theater of your mind

Hoping that there'll be

A happily ever after this time

Let go

Let go

Let go

And forget what you know

You fear you've walked too far

In the hemlock forest and you are lost

But what error could you invent

With more power than the cross

Let go

Your sin is not an axe

Let go

That can fell the sacred tree

Let go

Your regret is not a net

Let go

That can dredge the forgetting sea

A wise man once told me

When I was dying just the same

The past can be like sidewalk chalk

If you will dance and pray for rain
