let 'em go

you gotta alot of pain in your shoes
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
every kind of thing you can't use
let 'em go...let 'em go
you're never gonna see that kind of light
you know the one your dreams are made of
if you don't kiss them good night
and let 'em go

you're tellin' me it hurts in your head
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
don't let them butter up your bread
let 'em go...let 'em go
you're waitin' for a dream in your hand
you know the simple life that you've known
if they don't fit with your plan
just let 'em go

(bridge)
every kind of answer
to the questions that you pose
the universe has
the universe knows
everywhere you're lookin'
like a fantasy that grows
hold on to the feeling
it tells you where you should go

you gotta lotta fools who hang on
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
they smile and tell you you're wrong
let 'em go...let 'em go
you gotta alot of living to do
don't let someone else do it for you
you already know that it's true
just let 'em go
