Some people say "Don't go away just stay right here" Some say "If you stay at home you're gonna wind up alone" Now you know you can't go two different ways you can't believe everything you hear And if you always do just what you're told then you've got no mind of your own So if each man has a different plan let 'em go let 'em go You have a power all your own There's a spirit child inside you ready for life and I know It's just waiting to see how you will grow And when the spirit feels the need to wander let it go Sometimes they say the only way is to really sing that song Sometimes they say you're singing that way too loud too long And if they can't make up their minds then I think I'll make up mine Whatever way I feel is the only way I'm gonna sing that song And if people don't seem to like it that's O.K. let 'em go Some day they'll sing a song of their own 'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know It's just waiting to see how they will grow And when their spirit feels a need to wander I'm sure they'll go Some people said "Try this,it'll make your smile" Some said "Don't touch it, you end up crying" Well it felt so good for a while but then I saw too many dying When all they wanted to do was get a little higher So if the game won't follow through let it go let it go And leave the loaded dice alone 'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know It's just waiting to see how they will grow One too many-users lose it all Then there's no one-no one to help then break the fall People just like you who say "Oh no that won't be me" End up face down-is that where you wanted to be So if it's going to bring you trouble let it go let it go Remember that doesn't mean you'll be all alone 'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know It's just waiting to see how you will grow.
