Lonely sound of distant thunder stirs my restless sleep And the dream that I was lost in slips away Of a young son and his mama so innocent back then Would she even recognize her boy today 'Cause I have fought into the darkness And I've spilled blood, with these two hands And in my heart I wish I could believe That who I was, is who I am I've crossed mountains, hills, and valleys From sea to shining sea, barren sands to blinding snow I held my brother as he laid dieing Beside me in some field, said a prayer, and let him go And I have fought into the darkness And I've spilled blood, with these two hands And in my heart I wish I could believe That who I was, is who I am I'm letting go (I'm letting go) Letting go (I'm letting go) Well, I'm letting go (I'm letting go) Letting go (I'm letting go) Now with all my trials behind me I'm so blessed to cast my eyes On my family and my home And with faith I faced my demons when God was on our side All that's left, is letting go I'm letting go (I'm letting go) Letting go (I'm letting, letting go) Well, I'm letting go (I'm letting go) Letting go (I'm letting, letting go)
