Backstory:

My daughter wanted to send my wife's grandma a balloon when she passed away.  She was very young at the time.

It was one of those moments I had to capture.  My daughter saw some cards and ballons that had been sent to the funeral home.

She then asked if she could send a balloon to grandma up in Heaven.  I put this moment in the bridge of the song.

That provided me the inspiration for the song.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Let it Go (Grandma’s Balloon)

(Verse One)
My grandma was so good to me growing up
On my birthdays she made me feel like such a special kid
She would bring me purses, jewelry and other cool girl stuff
But there was one more thing she always did

She brought me a red balloon
A card would come with it that said:

(Chorus)
Take the balloon, aim it to the sky
Make a wish, close your eyes 
And reach real high
The Heavens will take note
And give your dream life
When you’re ready, let it go

(Verse Two)
When the time for high school graduation came
Grandma was not feelin’ well and mom said she couldn’t be there
But I saw her stand up all proud when they called out my name
And when I came off the podium and down the stairs

She handed me a red balloon
A card came with it that said

(Chorus)
Take the balloon, aim it to the sky
Make a wish, close your eyes 
And reach real high
The Heavens will take note
And give your dream life
When you’re ready, let it go

(Bridge)

Two days after this angel of a woman passed on
My four year old wrote a message in crayon
Taped it to Grandma’s Red Balloon and then 
Asked if she could send it up to Heaven
I said:
(Final Chorus)

Take the balloon, aim it to the sky
Make a wish, close your eyes
And reach real high
Grandma will take note 
And know you said goodbye
When you’re ready, let it go
