[Selfmaker song] No Need to Cling

Title: "No Need to Cling"

Verse 1:

Bringing life into the world, it's not always pure joy,
Sometimes heartbreak follows, that no one can avoid.
A child may leave before you do, a pain beyond compare,
Or bring you sorrow, wear you down, with burdens you must bear.
To pass on genes, a fleeting dream, no guarantee they'll stay,
One short generation, just a blink and they could fade away.

​
Chorus:

No need to cling, no need to hold,
Life is fleeting, let it unfold.
In a world that's ever-dying, find your peace,
Let go of the pressure, and find your release.

Verse 2:

If spreading genes is all you seek, there are easier ways,
Donate your seed, spread it wide, and go about your days.
Raising kids is hard and long, a heavy weight to bear,
Society will push you, but the burden's yours to wear.
The world won't help, won't take the load, it's all on you to face,
And if you think it's all for genes, you're bound to feel misplaced.

Chorus:

No need to cling, no need to hold,
Life is fleeting, let it unfold.
In a world that's ever-dying, find your peace,
Let go of the pressure, and find your release.

Bridge:

The earth will die, the sun will fade, the universe will cease,
Why cling to things so transient, why not find your peace?
Let go of all the expectations, live your life your way,
In a world where nothing lasts, find your light today.

​Chorus:

No need to cling, no need to hold,
Life is fleeting, let it unfold.
In a world that's ever-dying, find your peace,
Let go of the pressure, and find your release.

​Outro:

So here's to living life unbound, to dreams that soar and sing,
In a fleeting, dying universe, there's no need to cling.
Find joy in every moment, in the freedom that you bring,
No need to cling, no need to hold, let your spirit sing.
