The Looser the Grip
© 2012 Bob Sima Music, Thin Little Veil, Released 31 March 2012
When you lay down your head you want to sleep at night
But you’re wide-eyed and worrying heavy on the state of your life
Just let go, let go, let go, leave it by the side of the pillow
Because the looser the grip, the lighter the load
You’ve been playing this game waiting on your finest hour
But that need to win will drain you of power
Put down that number one, put down control
The looser the grip, the lighter the load
When the weight of the world has descended on you
They say be strong, hold on, your pride will carry through
I say the stronger your pride, the longer the road
And the looser the grip, the lighter the load
When your heart is heavy it’s from a mind that’s full
When your spirit is weak the world seems so cruel
But it all falls away when you let go, let go, let go
Well the looser the grip, the lighter the load
I said the deeper the love, the higher we’ll go
The less that you need, the faster it flows
And the looser the grip, the lighter the load
