Let's put down our baggage By Michelle Morris 08/05/2023 Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our baggage Let's free ourselves Our hearts and our minds Our bodies and our souls Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our history Let's move forward from the past Never forget our beginnings Or the memories built to last So much life in our living So much loss in our eyes How did we let it happen? These tears from all the lies? What happened to honesty? To kindness and support? Learning from life's lessons Is our only way forward Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our baggage Let's free ourselves Our hearts and our minds Our bodies and our souls Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our history Let's move forward from the past Never forget our beginnings Or the memories built to last So much love in our loving So much joy in our eyes How can we make it last? The healing and the progress? What happened to forever? To the vows we made together? Learning to surrender our hearts To the Universe without question Oh-oh-oh... We are not our baggage We are not our past Not our worst decision Or the best wishes we impart Oh-oh-oh Love and understanding Life and death and more Everything is possible Together we can soar Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our baggage Let's free ourselves Our hearts and our minds Our bodies and our souls Oh-oh-oh... Let's put down our history Let's move forward from the past Never forget our beginnings Or the memories built to last © Michelle Morris, 2023
