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 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
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 say
till we were our own enemies
let it go
let it be
brick by brick we can believe
in the person god intentded us to be
let it be
Some people give themselves a brick
i know most people do
when we compare
we fall short somewhere
its 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
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
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
if we're brave we can believe in what we are
Chorus
Let it be
oh let it be
