The First Step Is Letting Go - Vanessa Amorosi

I walked up to a wall so high

All I ever wanted to do was climb

Even though I didn’t know

What I’d find on the other side

Every time I started to rise

I heard, «Come back, slow down, turn around»

But in the distance I could see

The place I wanted to be

And when I got to the top I found

The only way up was down

The first step is letting go

The first step is letting go

You know it’s hard sometimes

To just walk that lonely line

But the first step is letting go

Good friends used to stick together

I had a dream and they said, «Never, never»

Fairytales are for little girls

You got your head stuck in the clouds

I began to see the lies

That good friends do tell so well

You want a dream to call your own?

Sometimes you gotta walk alone

You gotta leave it all behind

And break the

The first step is letting go

The first step is letting go

You know it’s hard sometimes

To just walk that lonely line

But the first step is letting go

No one ever wants to see

No one ever wants to leave

Even though the house is falling down

So hard to let go of the past

But you’re holding broken glass

There’s diamonds everywhere

But you have to look around

Have to look around

The first step is letting go

The first step is letting go

You know it’s hard sometimes

To just walk that lonely line

But the first step is letting go

(The first step is letting go)

Oh-oh, it’s letting go

(The first step is letting go)

You know that it’s hard sometimes

To just walk that lonely line

But the first step is letting go

(The first step is letting go)

Oh, letting go

(The first step is letting go)

'Cause you know it’s hard at times

To walk the lonely line

But the first step is letting go
