Release

Family ties pull til they break
A wounded love can turn to hate
Years go by,
Nobody's speaking
Til somebody dies
Now, everyone's weeping

Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again

Anger's a wall
Imprisons the soul
I give you a call
You peek through the hole
But love is a key
Right there in your pocket
And if you wanna be free
Get up and unlock it

Go on and release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again

I can remember
Do you recall?
Your love was a river
For one and for all
But now it's so shallow
Your smile so rare
And sometimes I thirst
For more than my share

Why don't Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again  

Brothers dissing brothers
And daughters dismissing mothers
Trying hard to hide
How they're missing one another
Like Jesus all I'm asking
Forgive them their trespassing
Cause a family love
Should be love that's everlasting
Time to start the healing
Release the hurt you're feeling
Releasing all the anger
Your life has been revealing
Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else!

Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again
