SOMETHING GOES FOR SOMETHING

A new phase
Needs sacrifice 
You have to let go
Of who you are
So you can become 
Who you want to be
Something goes for something.

You got to let go
Of all that's draining 
Endowing what's nourishing 
If you want to fly 
Give up everything 
That weighs you down
Be like the Phoenix 
From ashes to a new life.
