You Can Let Go Now

This uses the song "You Can Let Go Now" by Crystal Shawanda. After listening to this song, I realized how I could change it slightly to fit Minyonka Zoboashi. This is the same thing I did when I wrote the story based off this song.

Wind blowin’ on my face
People flyin’ back in my mind
An eight-year-old’s first taste
Of what freedom’s really like
 

 

He was runnin’ right beside me
His hand holdin’ onto me
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It’s still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

 

I was standin’ at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I’ve been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
 

When the Tsunade asked,
"Who gives this woman?"
Daddy’s eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin’ tightly to my arm
‘Till I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

 

It was killin’ me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin’ away to nothin’
In that hospital room
 

"You know he’s only hangin’ on for you"
That’s what my brother said
My voice and heart were breakin’
As I crawled up in his bed, and said

 

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It’s gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go
