Shed My Skin © 2009 Larry Suess

1. Sun’s up, birds sing, stream gurgles with the gifts it brings

Clouds fly in the sky on a new wind riding high

I been racing, chasing, somebody else’s dream

It’s high time I decide I’m driving my own ride

Gonna throw off the old, let it float down the stream

CHORUS: Gonna shed my skin I’ve been living in

It’s not fitting right, getting way too tight

I’ll find a truer me when I dig down deep

Truer than I’ve ever been, when I shed my skin

2. I’ve got to hand it to you, you know just what you want me to do

You tell me straight up what it takes to fill you up

Not flowers, chocolate, trinkets or shiny rings

You want our time to take a ride and share what’s on our minds

We’re gonna throw off the old ways, let ‘em float down the stream (Ch)

BRIDGE: It’s a gift you give me being honest and true

I’m busting free from my old self

If I can be here for me I’ll be right here for you (Ch)

REPRISE : I’ve been living in, I’ll find a truer me when I did down deep

Yes, I’m gonna shed my skin
