Close your eyes
Let it go
Fill your lungs
Let it go
Open your eyes
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Fill your lungs
Let it go
Hands to face
Fingers to eyes
Fill your lungs
Let it go
One step
Two steps
Three
Stop.
Close your eyes
Let it go
Open your eyes
Fill your lungs
Lift your chin
Brush it off
Let it go
And
Begin
Again.
