Some people bring you gifts
Some bring you bricks to weight 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 found
But any other way you choose is a brick that weights you down
So tell me what do I do with this backpack
Full of bricks and sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
[CHORUS]
Let it go, let it be
Brick by brick we can be free of all the words we saved
Till 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
Itüs always true if all we see is where we fall
We´ve bricked a prison wall instead of trying to learn to fly
We´ve taught ourselves to crawl we could believe in ourselves
More we could try for unique
Instead of trying to conform
We could defy what they tell us
Don´t buy the lies they sell us if we´re brave we can believe in what we are
