The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all!
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I’m free!
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry!
Here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
How many of us have heard this song repeatedly, whether on video or acoustic style from your little one? My 2 year old only knows “Let it go.” Imagine that on repeat. Tonight the kids and I had this playing on YouTube. It truly was sweet to see the 2 and 5 year old mesmerized by the screen and singing along.
The song seems to have many different interpretations. Most of them are over the kids’ heads; however, it produces a powerful feeling deep in your soul when you are belting it out. In the simplest of terms this song says let the past go and be who you are. Fear can be crippling. It acknowledges the relief and sense of freedom felt once your fears and “secrets” are revealed to others. You may not know what will happen next; however, you no longer need to waste energy on concealing the intricacies of your life.
This song is a great segue back into my blog. Wow, did 4 years really just blow pass me? It sure did. I won’t bore you with every detail of the past 4 years of my transitional life; at least not right now. Just know it is coming. I plan on letting the past go and seeing what I can do now. I certainly do not lack content; it’s more like I lost drive and direction for keeping my writing going. I have been on a journey of discovery and am eager to bring you along. Sound boring? Heck no. Stay tuned, because I know you will identify with many of the posts.
Make tomorrow a great day.
