Let Them Go

It’s the little things that catch your eye
You watch them closer as the years go by
Every bird is born to fly
Let them go

To you, they’re always gonna be too young
You always knew the time would come
They’re gonna walk, they’re gonna run
Let them go

Let them go to the ends of the earth
They’re gonna love, gonna hurt
See what’s the matter and how much it’s worth
What’s down the road, we don’t need to know
Let them go

You see yourself just like yesterday
A dream so big you had to break away
Now all you want to do is make them stay
Let them go

Clear out the spaces, let them fill in the blanks
Hold the ladder as they climb the ranks
A quiet prayer, give thanks
Let them go

Let them go to the ends of the earth
They’re gonna love, gonna hurt
See what’s the matter and how much it’s worth
What’s down the road, we don’t need to know
Let them go

Hold on, holding on
Hearts are made for holding on
Love is always letting go, letting go

Let them go to the ends of the earth
They’re gonna love, gonna hurt
See what’s the matter and how much it’s worth
What’s down the road, we don’t need to know

Let them go to the ends of the earth
They’re gonna love, gonna hurt
See what’s the matter and how much it’s worth
What’s down the road, we don’t need to know
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
