Story Behind The Song

When we let go of all of those things that are weighing us down and clouding our minds, the we can truly be our greatest selves.

Lyrics

What Falls Away
Lauri Jones/Gary Skye (ASCAP)

So many years... so many seasons
Following many a muse
Every venture coming and going
As I'm pulled toward deeper truth

The hurting, the crying, the stumbling and trying
All part of a greater good

And what falls away
Brings me closer to what I'm meant to be
What falls away is lifting me higher, up where I can see
With a kiss goodbye, I let go of all the tattered pieces
And what falls away reveals the essence... the essence of me

Every step now, every decision
Is rooted by spirit in me
Embracing this path now, ever more fully
Drawing to it what I need

And what falls away
Brings me closer to what I'm meant to be
What falls away is lifting me higher, up where I can see
With a kiss goodbye, I let go of all the tattered pieces
And what falls away reveals the essence... it's the essence of me

The hurting, the crying... the stumbling and trying
All part of a greater good


And what falls away
Brings me closer to what I'm meant to be
What falls away is lifting me higher, up where I can see
With a kiss goodbye, I let go of all the tattered pieces
And what falls away reveals the essence... it's the essence of me
The essence of me
Let the rest fall away... to the essence... the essence
