lyrics

Every saint has a past
every sinner has a future
billowing sails on the mast
these wounds shall be sutured
we can be more than what you say

In the shallows we wade, desperate to make our way.

Raise your hands release the pain!
Raise your hands release the pain!

Let it go!
the past can't define us
Let it go!
our life is what we create
Let it go!

If our past must define us
should we wipe the slate
there's a way to wake up
free you from your sleep

In the shallows we wade, desperate to make our way
The deep we drift a way, an anchor with no chain.

Every saint has a past, every sinner a future
if we bend to the will of others, we lose ourselves in the mists
LET IT GOOOOO

I've found my way the wind it slower takes me astray
Accept the fray, take on the burden of the day
In shallow we wade desperate to make our own change
Drift away, an anchor with not change
I've found my way!
