Letting Go Is Holding

Because holding on is to let go
and letting go is to hold on

Let go of your fears and prejudices
Hold on to new friendship

They're different, we're the same
They're the same, we're different

They're over there, we're here
We're over there, they're here ...

Hold on - let go - keep some - share
Give, take, mix, integrate - care

Skin of different hues, blood the same
I must learn to pronounce your name

Hesitate. Eyes meet. Glance up. Smile.
Our gaze crossed many a mile

Speak. Language in the way?
Gesture. Aha, I get what you say.

Thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams
Ocean of separation or bubbling streams?

Reach out your hand, hearts beat in time
The sky, the air the Earth are yours and mine.

One, two, three four - open the window
Open the door

Let in the fresh air of a new culture
Let go the past, let's hold the future

Let go the scars, let go the pain
Hold the sunshine, the glitter of the rain

Race, religion, politics shouldn't mean depravity
Friendship is a force greater than gravity

This is yours, this is mine - it doesn't matter
to the Divine

Artificial boundaries that deface the map
have no place where there's grace

We're all one, let's not forget
We share this amazing planet.
