Let Go
LET GO
You spend your time worrying
about so many things
You take a little problem
and give it giant wings
You let it cloud your senses
leading happiness astray
You fret and whine relentlessly
another ruined day
Choose your battles carefully
all is not as it seems
Let go of the small things
don't let them ruin your dreams
The little things have a way
of working themselves out
It really isn't worth your while
to cry and scream and shout
Sort out all your problems
push the tiny ones aside
You will feel more joy each day
less tears you will have cried
Focus on your blessings
they will never make you blue
Choose a fresh prospective
each day, a new view
This life is full of mountains
but when you reach the top
You feel it was worth the struggle
you're glad you didn't stop
Brush off the petty problems
don't let them dig at you
Let go and enjoy happiness
let each day be new.
