Let It Go by Jim Black

Let It Go
by Jim Black

i've been holding on so tight
to what i thought would make it right
but i'd end up feeling emptier than before
i was searching without sight
i was looking for truth but avoiding the light
until my knees hit the floor

then something happened deep inside
when i let go of my pride…

he is no fool
who gives what he cannot keep
to gain that which he cannot lose
don't be a fool
give up what you cannot keep
hold on to that which you cannot lose

i've been trying so long
to do what i thought would make me strong
but my sacrifice rings empty in my ears
like a note without the song
i was righteous but my heart was so wrong
until i prayed through my tears

then something happened deep inside
when i let go of my pride…

Chorus

Bridge:
for what good would it do
to gain the whole world
but lose your soul…
so let it go…

(instrumental break)

but something's happening deep inside
you're letting go of your pride…

Chorus
