From the recording Hand and Hammer
This song describes what I experienced and realized after a tarot card reading in which I received the "Hanged Man" card. Oy - let it go - it doesn't serve you anymore...got you hanging upside down. Sound familiar?

HANGED MAN

Last verse lyrics written By Lynda Millard
Released On: Hand and Hammer
I started on my journey
as an infant soul
searching but not knowing of the end
gathered my defenses
burdened down my beast
never knowing hat would save me
was within
I stumbled through the darkness
fear was pounding
at my heart
See how hope when looked for
fades away
Feeling for my weapons
holding high my shield
I had to let them go to find my way
Chorus
I drew the hanged man
He's telling me
I must release it
all that's dear to me
When you gaze in the mirror
what do you see
look beyond your face
your eyes
Can you feel your heartbeat,
hear your soul?
You're alive
The image on the tarot card
is asking me
Can't you see the answers
are inside of you
Cut the ties that bind you
all along you held the key
The journey's there to make
you learn to fly
chorus
