Let Go (4:03) Uptempo Pop/ Folk Song. Efrat started work on a new album in spring 2018 but had to put it on hold when serious health issues threatened her son's life. The next year and a half was a blur of hospitals and specialists and then the pandemic arrived just as he finally got the surgery he needed to ensure his safety. Meanwhile, Efrat met so many other heart warrior families and realized how many of us MUST let go of our plans and embrace what life gives us in order to move forward and thrive.
lyrics
Hard to hand over preconceived notions,
Memories linger, forcing my hand.
It’s hard to recover from the sadness.
Can’t help to see through dark shadowed glasses
Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light
And visions can transform in just one ni-ight ….
So hard to shadow what my heart says,
Climbing a ladder with always one rung to go.
But I’ll keep trying no I won’t falter.
There’s only one way to reap and sow…
Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light
And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so
Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow
I may continue to do myself in,
But I’ll try to stop the path.
I must believe that it’s not written.
Is that a world I can finally grasp?
Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light,
And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so
Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow
I thought there would be time to make a world of mine
But life keeps getting in the way of all I want
And everything I hoped for left me with what to show for?
All the things I’ve put on hold, tryin to fit a mold… so now I’ll just
Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow
Today tomorrow, maybe next year what will follow what is near
Can I make up all I've saved up while in my heart I still have fear…
Cause everything in sight becomes part of our light
And visions can transform in just one ni-ight …. so
Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow
Let go, let go, of all you know. Let go, let go, let life flow
