Let it go

 I cant stop the rain from falling 

And you know I cant

hold back the tide

I cant even stop the pain from hurting 

But I will always be here

By your side

You cant stop 

The tears from coming 

Or the always know

How to decide

But Im your friend 

And I’ll tell you something

I know how it felt

When father died.

The man that gave you form and figure

Has run his course,

Now rests in pride.

Time to push out on the river 

And follow

To the ocean wide. 

There is nothing to encounter

In the grave he left behind

Let it go 

Be a giver 

Live your life 

In the world outside.
