Some people bring you gifts
Some bring you bricks to weigh you down
So they can swim a little higher while you drown
Some people mean so well
Their way was the best way that they found
But any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down
So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
Of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
Chorus
Let it go, let it be
Brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we saved till we were our own enemies
Let it go let it be
Brick by brick we can believe in the person God intended us to be
Let it be
Some people give themselves a brick
I know most people do
When we compare we fall short somewhere
It's always true
If all we see is where we fall
We've bricked a prison wall
Instead of trying to learn to fly we've taught ourselves to crawl
Chorus
We could believe in ourselves more
We could try for unique
Instead of trying to conform we could defy
What they tell us
Don't buy the lies they sell us
If we're brave we can believe in what we are
