about

It's about that bittersweet feeling of leaving. Most of my songs have layers to them, so on a deeper level, this one references the chains that we sometimes let bind us and freeing ourselves from those mental and emotional burdens we carry.

lyrics

The Less I Have


VS:
Each time I leave, I roll up my sleeves
Start again and tragedy
Feels like dying, so much beauty
In the heart that won't stop trying

CHORUS:
The less I have the less I have to hold
Let the wind take me wherever she may blow
Freedom, oh freedom
Be my glory

VS:
I packed up my bags, held my head high
As I walked away I laughed and cried
I set my sights, couldn't hold it in for long
Now give me a power stronger than belief
I said give me a power stronger than belief

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I'm was going, now I'm gone
I'm far away from the one who chained me down
give me the strength, now I'm moving
Freedom, be my glory

I'm was going, now I'm gone
I'm far away from the one who chained me down
give me the strength, now I'm moving
Freedom, be my glory

CHORUS:
The less I have the less I have to hold
Let the wind take me wherever she may blow
Freedom, oh freedom
Be my glory
Freedom, oh freedom
Be my glory
Be my glory
