Let Go


When I was just a little girl Mama used to tell me stories Cinderella and Snow White And how they found their Prince Charming She always wanted that for me But I just want to be free Like a bird set free from the cage its been held in Like a prisoner whose chains have been cut I will run I will fly Til there’s nowhere left to go Cause I know When you love someone You’ve got to let them fly You’ve got to let them sore on their own This I know You’ve got to let go I see people going places I’ll never go I hear stories of places I’ll never be Cause I can’t stand to break your heart By going too far away from you Cause I care too much for you There are hands that belong together And his are where mine should be But do I want to stay here forever When there’s a world out there waiting to be seen Like a ship blown around by the wind in the sea Like love written on a paper in the breeze I will go where life takes me Til I’ve reached where I’m meant to be Cause I know When you love something this much There’s only one thing to know When you need something this much This I know You’ve got to let yourself go So skylines here I come To city streets and neon signs The city that never sleeps Is gonna get a whole lot of me It better be ready Cause I need to let myself go Here I go Like a bird set free from the cage its been held in Like a prisoner whose chains have been cut I will run I will fly Til there’s nowhere left to go Like a ship blown around by the wind in the sea Like love written on a paper in the breeze I will go where life takes me Til I’ve reached where I’m meant to be Cause I know When you love something this much There’s only one thing to know When you need something this much This I know You’ve got to let yourself go
