Just Let It Go

How many years? A twenty or more

Dedicated was I, indebted, indentured

Repairing the roof, washing the floor

I dreamt of the world, but I never ventured

Chains round my ankles, locks on the door

The shackles that bound me don't anymore

In the end, I let it go

Maybe it's best just to let it go

Was I even good at this? I'm not even sure

I just did the job and kept my head down

I fooled myself thinking that my aims were purе

A full veil covered thе face of a clown

Hooked up to a plough, I tilled the earth

I buried a few and to some I gave birth

In the end, I let it go

Maybe it's best just to let it go

Our changes came fast, but the torments were slow

Let it go, let it go

A person, a gender, a human soul

What kind of career means a life in a cage?

One day I could hear a distant bell toll

Without emotion, no joy or rage

I took just enough to see me well gone

My tiny space vacant, I'd left before dawn

Oh, in the end, I let it go

Maybe it's best just to let it go

Our changes were fast, but the torments were slow

Let it go, let it go

I let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go
