Now I let it go
And let the wind carry me

Beyond the morning light
But I do not need all the answers
To follow my soul

Inside the song
Story & meaning
Fear has been carried like a stone in the heart. When that weight is released, the world opens: morning breaks over the mountains, gold moves across the sea, and the wind can be taken into open arms. FRJÁLS gives freedom a physical feeling, the relief of finally having room to breathe.
There are doors that never open, and roads that have to be made by walking. The hurt carried along the way has taught the strength to stand tall. “I will become the sky” opens the last boundary. You do not need every answer to begin; there is room to recognise yourself and choose where to go.
