Let It Go

(she said ) “I’ve grown up in a world that does not love me
Been fending for myself since sweet sixteen
Coz momma’s boyfriend tried to hit on me
When I wouldn’t give in to him sexually
That’s when he started acting violently
I tried to tell my momma but she didn’t believe
She said I’d led him on, tried to blame it on me
And until this day I’m living with the pain; I can’t trust anyone again”

You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go

(He Said) “My girl don’t understand me, she says I’m cold
But she don’t understand what my heart holds
The first time that it happened I was 8 years old
Ever since that day not a soul I told
A friend of my family, how could he have done?
Took away my childhood like a magic wand
This will be our secret, is what he told me
How could this have happened, I just can’t believe it happened to me”

You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go

I have never known real Love before
Like an old friend at an open door
Arms stretched out embracing from the cold
to hold you, and love you, protect you, keep you warm
This love, something I’ve been searching for
But I never realised that God could give so much more
It’s not been easy letting go of the past,
But I can see that since I did I’ve been walking faster
I’m living again!
I'm living again
I'm living again
I finally, found it
I said I'm living again
I'm living again
I'm living again
(Let it go)

You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don’t have to be alone
God’s gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Keep your head up high
