| Some people bring you gifts, some bring you bricks to weigh you down
|
| So they can swim a little higher while you drown
|
| Some people mean so well, their way was the best way that they’ve found
|
| But any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down
|
| So tell me
|
| What do I do with this backpack full of bricks
|
| Of sticks and stones and word’s that stuck to me like ticks
|
| Let it go, let it be
|
| Brick by brick we can be free
|
| Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
|
| Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
|
| In the person God intended us to be
|
| Let it be
|
| Some people give themselves a brick, I know most people do
|
| When we compare, we fall short somewhere, it’s always true
|
| If all we see is where we fall, we’ve bricked the prison wall
|
| Instead of trying to learn to fly we’ve taught ourselves to crawl
|
| So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
|
| Of sticks and stones and word’s that stuck to me like ticks
|
| Let it go, let it be
|
| Brick by brick we can be free
|
| Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
|
| Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
|
| In the person God intended us to be
|
| Let it be
|
| We could believe in ourselves more
|
| We could try for unique instead of trying to conform
|
| We could defy what they tell us
|
| And don’t buy the lies they sell us
|
| And we’re brave we can believe in what we are
|
| Let it go, let it be
|
| Brick by brick we can be free
|
| Of all the words we saved til we were our own enemies
|
| Let it go, let it be brick by brick we can believe
|
| In the person God intended us to be
|
| Let it be |
