 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

The bull has gored the matador
The U.S. Army won the war
The meaning died in metaphor
I hope you let it go

The phoenix burned but did not rise
Now half the body's paralyzed
There's no one left to criticize
I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go
Hope you let it go
The enemy's invincible
I hope you let it go

The prophet said we'd disappear
The prophet's gone, but we're still here
His prophecy was insincere
I hope you let it go

The righteous rage was foolish pride
The conquerors did not divide
The call keeps coming from inside
I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go
Hope you let it go
Your enemy's invincible
I hope you let it go

When everyone who lived it died
The files were declassified
The slobs still called it suicide
I hope you let it go

The signatories broke the pact
The surfer sacked the quarterback
Your bag fell down onto the tracks
I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go
Hope you let it go
The enemy's invincible
I hope you let it go

The embassy's abandoned now
The flag they flew is on the ground
The painting burned, the statue drowned
I hope you let it go

The moving train accelerates
It's always fast and always late
It never leaves the Empire State
I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go
I hope you let it go
Our enemy's invincible
I hope you let it go

The sentencing was overturned
The killer freed, the court adjourned
A hoped betrayed, a lesson learned
I hope you let it go

I did the things you asked me to
I testified what wasn't true
But now I lost my faith in you
I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go
I hope you let it go
My enemy's invincible
I've had to let it go

I hope you let it go
I hope you let it go
I hope you let it go
I hope you let it go
