Act I Family
They said let them go
But they were mine to hold
Since birth I carried their weight
There wasn't an ounce I couldn't take
~
Act II Family Matters
They said let them go
But they were mine to hold
As mother, not sister or daughter
Amber? Never knew her so forgot her
~
Act III Family Matters Less
I had to let them go
All the bags I tried to hold
Return to myself, learn my weight
Set myself free to grow for my own sake
