Feeling like a child getting cold in the storm
things that people say are not enough to keep warm
and I seek shelter but I'm drenched to the bone
fear is creeping in and my clarity is gone
and I know that I've been here before
slow dancing with my past
the future at my door
over miles I can hear
that Mama says "let go my dear"
(chorus)
let the ocean take your pain
watch it wash out with the rain
give your sorrow to the wind
this is where you shall begin
to remember how to love
how to give it all
as you listen to the trees
let the breeze guide you home to me
home to me
and now the voices are leaving
and I go back to breathing
"that which is not permanent could never bring the healing I need"
said the Heart, and I trust his words
only in surrender can the river run its course
and I know that I've been here before
slow dancing with my past
the future at my door
over miles I can hear
that Mama says "let go my dear"
(chorus)
let the ocean take your pain
watch it wash out with the rain
give your sorrow to the wind
this is where you shall begin
to remember how to love
how to give it all
as you listen to the trees
let the breeze guide you home to me
home to me
and as the clouds dissipate
I give thanks for the rain and the rainbow
now I get the lesson and I carry on
cause I'm on board
Mama I'm on board
cause I remember how to love
how to give it all
as I listen to the trees let the breeze guide me home to me
home to me
Mama home to me, to me, home to me
