Shedding skin, letting go,
Shedding skin, shedding my skin, shedding my skin,
Letting go of all that no longer serves me anymore.
Burn it up inside the fire,
Purify it in the water,
Breath deep into your center,
Feet grounded upon the Earth.
Remember everyone that hurt you,
Recognize that they were hurting too.
‘Cause when you did a little deeper,
You will find that they’re a part of you.
Layers of me get peeled away,
I am reborn with every word I say,
I hold no grudge, I’m full of forgiveness,
I stay on task, this love is my business.
But there are times we all need assistance, and
there are times when we just need persistence.
More often than not success is just one step further
than all of our resistance.
Everybody can ask for help,
sometimes you got to just do it yourself,
Got to make sense of this mess,
So I call upon the elements.
Burn it up inside the fire,
Purify it in the water,
Breath deep into your center,
Feet grounded upon the Earth.
Remember everyone that hurt you,
Recognize that they were hurting too.
‘Cause when you did a little deeper,
You will find that they’re a part of you.
Shedding my skin, shedding my skin,
Oh oohhhhhhhh
Let it all go, let it all go,
Oh oohhhhhhhh
Shedding my skin, shedding my skin.
