We are both the same so we're not alone Come on stand beside and let it go Won't you let it go And I am glad I'm not the man that you think to know So let it go, oh, won't you let it go And I am glad I'm not the man that you think to know So let it go, oh, won't you let it I've been around and therefore I've seen it happen before Don't get stuck in your head Cut the wheel By and by The hardest thing is to stay alive Aim a little bit higher
