Suitcases by Dara Maclean
I heard this song a couple months ago and I LOVED IT!
It reminds me not only of my faith and beliefs, but that regardless of our religion, we all need to let go of our burdens and baggage. I feel the lyrics also describe what a SimplyHealed™ session is like. Our spirits are so intelligent, they knows exactly what burdens we carry that need to be released. It is OUR choice to drop the bags. What happens with your bags and burdens might depend on your faith. In mine, I know it is a loving Savior that is willing to carry my burdens as I choose and turn to Him.
Life doesn’t have to be as heavy and hard as we make it. Choose to be filled with faith. Faith in the purpose of life, as well as faith in yourself and your purpose and mission. Breathing is truly one of the greatest tools we have to release negativity that gets caught up in our bodies…let it be gone on the vapor of a breath. If you are scared of the happiness and amazing future you might experience, only try to imagine right now…let your dream build within you and get you to a place where you are willing to let go and run free. Don’t choose to hold yourself back by holding tight to something that makes your life that much harder. You don’t have to be afraid of happiness.
Enjoy the song!
SUITCASES
How can you move when they’re weighing you down
What can you do when you’re tied to the ground, yeah
You carry your burdens, heavy like gravity
Just let them go now, there’s freedom in release
You can’t run when you’re holding suitcases
It’s a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don’t have to be afraid
Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There’s a better way when you know you’re forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don’t have to be afraid
Can you imagine what it’s like to be free
Well, send those bags packing, they’re not what you need
Abandon your troubles on the side of the street
Just let them go now, believe me
You can’t run when you’re holding suitcases
It’s a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don’t have to be afraid
Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There’s a better way when you know you’re forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don’t have to be afraid
There’s nothing hold you back now, just run
You can’t run when you’re holding suitcases
It’s a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don’t have to be afraid
Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There’s a better way when you know you’re forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don’t have to be
You don’t have to be afraid
