Now you're trying so hard just to keep up|Because this world is gone and done and changed|One day you think you got it all worked out|The next you're searching for it all over again||Looking for a way to try and break out|But everybody says to keep your head down||You gotta learn how to let it go|Too many things we can't control|You gotta learn how to let it go|We gotta learn how to make believe|That the world has it's plans for me|We gotta learn how to let go||So just do as you're told and keep on smiling|Smile so they think that you're pleased|Keep on being told that you're a star now|And there's opportunities waiting for me||Looking for a way to stop and scream out|But everybody says to keep your voice down||You gotta learn how to let it go|Too many things we can't control|You gotta learn how to let it go|We gotta learn how to make believe|That the world has it's plans for me|You gotta learn how to let go||You gotta learn how to let it go|Too many things we can't control|You gotta learn how to let it go|We gotta learn how to make believe|The world has it's plans for me|We gotta learn how to let go
