Just Let It Go

How many years? A 20 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 pure A full veil covered the 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, miss the life in a cage One day, I could hear a distant bell toll Without emotion, no jaw on, 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
