Let's Put Down Our Baggage

Let's put down our baggage

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our baggage 
Let's free ourselves
Our hearts and our minds
Our bodies and our souls

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our history 
Let's move forward from the past
Never forget our beginnings
Or the memories built to last 

So much life in our living
So much loss in our eyes
How did we let it happen?
These tears from all the lies?

What happened to honesty?
To kindness and support?
Learning from life's lessons
Is our only way forward 

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our baggage 
Let's free ourselves
Our hearts and our minds
Our bodies and our souls

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our history 
Let's move forward from the past
Never forget our beginnings
Or the memories built to last 

So much love in our loving
So much joy in our eyes
How can we make it last?
The healing and the progress?

What happened to forever?
To the vows we made together?
Learning to surrender our hearts
To the Universe without question

Oh-oh-oh...
We are not our baggage
We are not our past
Not our worst decision
Or the best wishes we impart

Oh-oh-oh
Love and understanding
Life and death and more
Everything is possible
Together we can soar

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our baggage 
Let's free ourselves
Our hearts and our minds
Our bodies and our souls

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our history 
Let's move forward from the past
Never forget our beginnings
Or the memories built to last
