In the year of the snake, we find our call
To shed old skins, let the past fall
Release the weight of what once was
Embrace the change, just because
The snake knows well the art of release
To grow anew, to find inner peace
Old ways and burdens, they must go
For transformation's seeds to sow
Why hold tight to what no longer serves?
In the shedding, find the courage it deserves
The skin that binds, now worn and thin
Let it slip away, let the new begin
In the shedding, there's a rebirth
A chance to find your truest worth
Old places, faces, things that bind
Leave them behind, new paths to find
The snake whispers secrets of the earth
In letting go, we find our worth
With each layer shed, we grow and thrive
In the shedding, we come alive
The past is a chapter, not the whole book
Turn the page, take a new look
In the shedding, find your grace
In the letting go, find your place
The snake's wisdom, ancient and true
In the shedding, find the new you
Release the old, embrace the change
In the shedding, life rearrange
So, let the old skin fall away
In the year of the snake, find your way
Embrace the new, let the old be
In the shedding, find your destiny
