If something keeps you captive, let it go!
You are better off without it, don’t you know?
If you hold on to it, it will surely bring you low-
So, listen to me, youngster, let it go.

It may be a woman, or a man-
Or drugs, or alcohol, that’s out of hand-
There are ample opportunities, to fail, I truly know-
So, if you’re wise, you’ll surely let it go.

Don’t set your heart on romance, if you’re wise-
What some call love is merely a disguise-
For a heart that covets only to control-
You are better off alone, so let it go.

Time and tide await none, it is said-
There’ll be time enough to rest when we are dead.
Live life to it’s fullest, we can’t afford to take it slow-
If something holds you back, son, let it go.
