Repunzel


Rapunzel, Rapunzel

let down your hair

let down your fears

once you stand up

for change

you should also expect to 

run into let downs 

and pain 

But greatness is near 

 

So, fret not, Rapunzel 

just let down your hair 

let loose your soul

find a place to heal

and a place to Grow 

 

Let down your hair 

get out of that tower

it fills you with doubt

you have no food 

your mind is in drought 

all you hear is screams

but you never shout 

 

Let down your hair 

may it reign upon the wickedness

by the grace of the heavens, all evil will turn to stone

watch it glow -

your comb, as you groom

yourself to the tune

of peace and wealth

no more doom

 

Let down your hair 

metaphorically, but quite literally you know what I mean

let it go, Rapunzel 

and set yourself free
