[Verse 1: Female Diva Vocals, Smooth] We traveled through the centuries just to touch Maybe we loved a little too much. Two ancient souls on a different track I loved the boy that the world held back. You gave me healing, you gave me truth Even when you were running... I saw the youth. [Pre-Chorus: Female Diva Vocals, Building Up] I know the shame. I know the fear. But I’m wiping away the final tear. It wasn't a failure! It wasn't a mistake! It was the most beautiful bond we could make! [Chorus: Female Diva Vocals, Belting] So I release you! (Go with God!) I release you! (To the stars above!) No resentment, no regret! The deepest love I have ever met! I’ll love you always, I’ll love you true But I cannot walk this path with you! [Post-Chorus: Female Ad-libs & Saxophone Solo] (Always! Always! Yeah!) (TEE-TEE LAI-LAI!) [Verse 2: Female Diva Vocals] Your shame is a shadow, but you are the sun. Our war is over, the fighting is done. I’m sending you power, I’m sending you grace. I’ll see the divine when I picture your face. Thank you for loving me the best that you could. It was real. It was holy. It was good. [Bridge: Soft Piano, Emotional] If we meet again in another time... I hope you are whole. I hope you are fine. (Oh, I hope you are fiiiine!) [Spoken Interlude: Deep Male Voice] I release you.
