Unlearn

from Rebel by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

Many are the things that we have learned,
handed down to us by those who’ve gone before
We may walk the steps that other’s took
but the righteous path
isn’t always the most worn

Have we dressed our habits up as values?

Time to unlearn
some broken lessons
Dare to challenge
what has always been done
Time to unlearn
to not grow stagnant
dare to imagine
goodness yet unexplored

Many are the things that we’ve been taught;
elders and tradition carve into our heart
“This is just the way it’s always been”
is never wisdom’s way,
not a reason to go on

Many are the evils we revere,
masquerading as traditions old and dear
Some of the ties we cut with our past
were never golden threads
but the noose around our necks

Have we tangled faith up with nostalgia?

Time to unlearn
some broken lessons
Dare to challenge
what has always been done
Time to unlearn
to not grow stagnant
dare to imagine
goodness yet unexplored

We were always meant to be on a journey,
let him lead us and to grow us continually
Wrongs aren’t right merely because they’re inherited
Jesus, let us to dare to cycle-breakers

Have we dressed entrenchment up as fealty?

Time to unlearn
some broken lessons
Dare to challenge
what has always been done
Time to unlearn
to not grow stagnant
dare to imagine
goodness yet unexplored

Time to unlearn
some broken lessons
Dare to challenge
what has always been done
Time to unlearn
to not grow stagnant
dare to imagine
goodness yet unexplored

Dare to be lead to
goodness yet unexplored
goodness yet unexplored

Time to unlearn!
