Rolling toward the future
Tangled in the past
Bitter roots are planted
and they're holding me back
Climbing toward contentment
with chains around my neck
Headed for the sky
but sinking down instead
And if the wind should catch me
the anchors still attached and I---
can see I'm drowning slowly
but still I can't let go till
I--- I--- I--- release you
My shadow stood before me
but now it casts behind
Yesterday has fallen
but today is in the light
Battlescars remind me
of fighting in the war
I won't forget the battle
but won't settle the score
And if the wind should catch me
the anchors still attached and I---
can see I'm drowning slowly
but still I can't let go till I---
can begin drifting forward
till the next time I falter and I---
I can still remember
but I proclaim I'm bigger cause
I--- release you
I--- release me
I--- release you
