Lightly, My Darling
It's dark because you try too hard. Aldous Huxley said lightly, my darling... and this song takes the lesson to heart.
It’s dark because you try, you try / Release the chains, and learn to fly.

Lyrics
[Intro] Here it is, the weight we hold Grasping too tight, the world grows cold Oh, too hard, my dear, too hard [Verse 1] The steps you take, they sink like stone Through quicksand fears, you're not alone But lightly, child, the path unfolds Lightly now, let go, let go [Chorus] It’s dark because you try, you try Release the chains, and learn to fly Oh, lightly now, my darling, sigh Let baggage fall, and kiss the sky [Verse 2] Feel deeply still, but take it soft The world spins fast, you drift aloft Yes, let it come, and let it go A fleeting wind, it doesn’t show [Bridge] The fears that grip, they pull you down To pity’s depths, where sorrows drown But darling, walk as though the air Carries you lightly everywhere [Chorus] It’s dark because you try, you try Release the chains, and learn to fly Oh, lightly now, my darling, sigh Let baggage fall, and kiss the sky [Outro] Here it is, the truth you hold Let it be light, let it unfold Oh, too hard, my dear, too hard Walk lightly now, you’ve played your card [End]
