Let It Go

Look behind the bowl of sugar, look inside the cookie jar and
You will view a picture that you have not seen in quite a while
Somewhere on the radio a man is saying something that you
Cannot hear but if you could it probably would make you smile

It's something you can't see, it's something you won't be
It's something that you'll never know
It's right behind your head, it stays there when you're dead
You'll have to learn to let it go

Anything that you don't know is unimportant till you later
Find it out and wish that you had known it at an earlier time
If you knew it then you would forget it in a little while, it
Might take six or seven months, it might take eight, it might take nine

It's something you can't see, it's something you won't be
It's something you that you'll never know
It's why you're here on Earth, and it explains your birth
You'll have to learn to let it go

It's something you can't see, it's something you won't be
It's something that you'll never know
It's to the left of you, it's on your right side too
You'll have to learn to let it go

There's no such thing as destiny
There's no such thing as fate
Just take what's put in front of you
And eat what's on your plate

I could tell a story that would make you think that I was happy
I could tell a story that would make you think that I was sad
At the time I wrote this song the truth was somewhere in the middle
You might think that isn't good but I think that it isn't bad

It's something I can't see, it's something I won't be
It's something that I'll never know
I thought it was this song, I guess that I was wrong
I'll have to learn to let it go
