Let Go of the Gold...

Intro Lyrics:
When I let go of all of the gold
Time is mythical
Life is liminal
Love is imaginal
Ready set go...
Let go of all of the gold
To feel passion's burn
In love's fiery return
When I let go of all of the gold
---
Verse 1:
To keep peace with myself
I'm running as fast as I can
While trying to pass go
Without all of the gold breaking my hands
I've always tried telling you so
Verse 2:
When I was trying to break free
Of the weight of the gold
Without a reason or a rhyme
My hands got bound up in time
That a false love couldn't unbind
---
Chorus:
So I'll let go of all of the gold
That's weighing down my soul
Yeah I'll let go of all of the gold
So I can free my hands
Free my hands from the weight of the gold
Free my hands, free my hands, free my hands
When my hands are free
Free from the weight of the gold
Hands are free, hands are free, hands are free
I'll be as light as a feather released from a bird
Free as a bird released from a cage
Free as a bird, free as a bird, free as a bird
---
Verse 3:
If I don't pass go will I lose myself
When if not now will I take a stand
For holding on to all of the gold
That's weighing down my hands
I've always tried telling you so
Verse 4:
Will I ever find myself
If I get lost inside yesterdays
While holding on to all of the gold
Dreams chasing me down hallways
Where memories slowly fade away
---
Chorus:
So I'll let go of all of the gold
That's weighing down my soul
Yeah I'll let go of all of the gold
So I can free my hands
Free my hands from the weight of the gold
Free my hands, free my hands, free my hands
When my hands are free
Free from the weight of the gold
Hands are free, hands are free, hands are free
I'll be as light as a feather released from a bird
Free as a bird released from a cage
Free as a bird, free as a bird, free as a bird
---
Verse 5:
One day I'll slow myself down
Leave enough time to pass go
Let go of all of the gold to free my hands
All of the gold weighing down my soul
I've always tried telling you so
Verse 6:
Letting go of all of the gold
Weighing me down will break me free
From time binding my hands
So my heart can finally be found
Inside a true love freely unbound
---
Chorus:
So I'll let go of all of the gold
That's weighing down my soul
Yeah I'll let go of all of the gold
So I can free my hands
Free my hands from the weight of the gold
Free my hands, free my hands, free my hands
When my hands are free
Free from the weight of the gold
Hands are free, hands are free, hands are free
I'll be as light as a feather released from a bird
Free as a bird released from a cage
Free as a bird, free as a bird, free as a bird
---
Outro Lyrics:
Free as a bird, free as a bird, free as a bird
To really be as free as a bird
I have to let go of all of the gold
All of the gold that's breaking my hands
All of the gold, all of the gold, all of the gold
I need to let go of all of the gold
All of the gold that's weighing down my soul
To really be as free as a bird
Free as a bird, free as a bird, free as a bird
