In younger years choice was not ours
We had to bow to mightier powers.
Some evil Man was controlling
In our life, almost everything.

So many of us can't let go
Because it will some weakness show.
So we spend our days controlling
Hoping that will us safety bring.

Not content to own our body
His goal our complete slavery.
Evil tactics He did employ
To control, and then to destroy.

"He" used his 'love', "He" used his might
To make us seem small in our sight.
Thus both love and strength came to be
A means for others' mastery.

To break "His" chains we had to be
In control of our destiny.
And to retain that control we
Must in control of all things be.

Not afraid that letting go
Will to this 'one' some weakness show.
This 'one', or more, will always care
Even if our control's not there!

So be afraid, be weak, and cry!
You can let go if you will try.
Even though, right now, you're not strong
In that 'ones' heart you still belong.

It's not enough just to be strong
We dare not admit we are wrong.
We must always be more than right
We have to be the best in sight.

Trying to handle alone all
We set ourselves up for a fall.
And 'knowing' love's used for control
Will on our heart take a deep toll.

Without control there's no safety
So we seek others' mastery.
Cannot let go, dare not be free
Can't e'en accept love easily.

So wonderful to just let go
And let someone our real self know.
Content to be a partner now
Yet still each day must re-learn how.

Then one arrives who wants to give
A way for us to better live.
Someone with whom we can now be
Safe and loved without mastery.

We must sometimes just let it go
And to loved ones a 'limit' show.
No one can handle everything
Expecting that will real self-worth bring.

Must learn to accept love that's real.
And still in personal control feel.
Must learn that real control comes just
When we can learn to others trust.

Now finally 'into me see'
Can become a reality.
With true love comes a lack of fear
That allows us to let 'one' near.

By sharing control we don't lose
Because we did to let go choose.
Now we can share what's deep inside
And not have to anything hide.

You're still the one that others seek
When it is their turn to be weak.
With real love you can now let go
And still safety and self-worth know.

Protected this time by the 'one'
You have not any love undone.
Even the strongest, wolf or Man
Will let go sometimes, if they can.
