lyrics

Hold yourself a while
Don't be afraid of the thing that has stolen your smile
Let yourself swim
Deep in the river of love that is flowing within
Feel the sunshine
Let it dry out the damp in the shack at the back of your mind
Let the wind blow
Let it take you any place that it wants you to go

That's what these moments of silence are for
You've got to let your soul sing a song about loneliness hunger and crying for more
You've got to learn to set that free
Don't make an enemy of anything you'll ever be

Hold yourself a while
Keep yourself close to the things that are making you smile
Let the love in
Don't be afraid of a thing that's about to begin
Let the rain fall
Let it slide down your roof let it tumble and fall down your walls
Let the seas rise
And wash away all of the tears that have formed in your eyes
