Can't Let Go
by Martha Michael and Jim Harris.
+ + + A dialogue between the Outie and the Innie. Who will win? + + +

BE BOLD, BE STRONG, BEFORE TOO LONG
TAKE AIM TAKE HEED TAKE HEART
WHY ARE YOU WAITING TO START ?

I JUST CAN'T, I JUST CAN'T
I JUST CAN'T LET GO
NOT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I SHOULD

LET BE, LET FLOW, LET GOD, LET GO
TAKE OFF, TAKE FLIGHT, TAKE PART
WHY ARE YOU WAITING TO START ?

I JUST CAN'T, (SHE JUST CAN'T)
I JUST CAN'T LET GO

HERE IN THE DARK I CAN FINALLY SEE
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT I'LL NEVER BE
SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT ME
IF I COULD THEN I WOULD
BUT I CAN'T LET GO
NOT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I SHOULD

REGROUP, RESET, REFUSE TO FRET
GET UP, GET OUT, GET SMART
WHY ARE YOU WAITING TO START ?

I DUNNO, BUT I CAN'T, I JUST CAN'T
I JUST CAN'T LET GO

IF ONLY I WEREN'T SO FRIGHTENED TO BE
ANYTHING BUT WHAT'S EXPECTED OF ME
THEN I COULD LEARN TO FINALLY
LET GO

In this rollicking musical psychodrama of a song, Jim plays the part of "The Extrovert, encouraging "The Introvert" (Martha) to let go of her fears and go head-to-head with the daunting challenges of life.
