Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Perfect rainy day, and everything washes away.
I can't see outside my window.
And I am turning gray,
I'm useless as myself today.
Sometimes I wish that I didn't know.
[bridge]
How it feels to do the right thing
When I'm faced with shame.
I'd like to turn my head and then let it go.
I'm just not who I was
When I felt I could walk away.
Now I'm walking out of my own shadows.
[Chorus]
So let it be.
Let it come down.
I'm ready for it now.
Though I'm not sure what it means
To be a slave.
To be completely free.
Let it be.
Let it be.
[Verse 2]
Crazy afternoon
And I'm staring at my favorite gloom.
Now that I see it, I don't think so.
And I don't need those things
That one time made my spirit sing.
In the times when I didn't know.
[Bridge]
How it feels to be happy,
How it feels to be all right inside.
Took a lot of time for me to let go.
Of all the hate I know
I stored up here inside my soul.
But now I'm walking out of my own shadows.
[Chorus]
And let it be.
Let it come down.
I'm ready for it now.
Though I'm not sure what it is
To be a slave.
To be completely free.
Let it be.
Let it be.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Let it be.
Let it come down.
I'm ready for it now.
Though I'm not sure what it means
To be a slave.
To be completely free.
Let it be.
Let it be.
[Outro]
Let it be.
Let it come down.
I'm ready for it now.
Though I'm not sure what it means.
Make me a slave.
Make me completely free.
Let it be.
Let it be.
[Ending]
