Put all those memories away

This hurt that you've been holding in: so very deep inside
Is keeping you from going out into the newness that's outside
And those tears that keep on falling down: splashing everywhere
Are echoing every secret your heart has never been able to share.

So weep now if you're needing to and let it out what's hurting you
It's not healthy to keep this all inside; believe me: this is true
Enough with all that worrying about what others may have to say
You are in need of all your freedom dear so put those memories away

Hang on then to what is helpful and not on to what was the painful past
Once was sufficient to have suffered such don't let that suffering last
You are so worth your life of freedom and don't need that hurtful recall
It only keeps you hostage to that painful time when you were small.

So weep now if you're needing to and let it out what's hurting you
It's not healthy to keep this all inside; believe me: this is true
Enough with all that worrying about what others may have to say
You are in need of all your freedom dear so put those memories away

Many will have you keep inside that time when you were small and hurt
But what value would you find inside those moments you felt like dirt
Enough for you was that painful time enough that period of trauma
You need not submit yourself again only to awaken you heart to drama

So weep now if you're needing to and let it out what's hurting you
It's not healthy to keep this all inside; believe me: this is true
Enough with all that worrying about what others may have to say
You are in need of all your freedom dear so put those memories away
