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 theyve 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 words that stuck to me like ticks
Let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we say 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, its always true
If all we see is where we fall, weve bricked the prison wall
Instead of trying to learn to fly weve taught ourselves to crawl
So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
Of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
Let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we say 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 dont buy the lies they sell us
And were 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 say 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.
