Letting Go

There are places out there somewhere
Where I could never go
And if I went there, I'd see things
That I would never know
Well, I could know
But I've been told I must let go
There are faces I might've seen
That I don't know anymore
There's a reason I feel things
When the past begins to show
But now I know
That it's best if I let go

Let it go, let it go
It'll soon begin to show
Let it go, let it go
It's the only way to grow
Let it go, let it go
There's no telling what life will show
Let it go
Let it go

I held her like she was my child
To protect her in every way
There was warmth like nothing else
When in my arms she lay
I'll tell you something
It was never the love that swayed
It turns out there were many demons
I was fighting in my head
There were no saints; there were no sinners
Only what the demons said
I should've known
What can I do? It's best that I let go

Let it go, let it go
It's the seeds that I have sown
Let it go, let it go
There's too much there to know
Let it go, let it go
It's the only way to grow
Let it go
Let it go
(Solo)
It's not easy learning the art of letting go
But then you realize that nothing lasts forever
So you've got to keep practicing the art
The art of letting go

Sometimes I feel that I'm sailing
In the harsh winds of change
Then I find that I'm just grieving
For all that doesn't remain
But it does, in my mind
And it's driving me insane
The mind's a fortress, one of a kind
With narrow, cluttered lanes
The lanes filled with a thousand minds
Each one with its own claims
Here we go!
I remind myself that I must let go

Let it go, let it go
Each mind has its own woes
Let it go, let it go
It's the only way to grow
Let it go, let it go
It'll soon begin to show
Let it go, let it go
There's too much there to know
