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

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

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
