I left my home
while the monks were chanting their lives away
Here out on the road, trusting in the wind
To point me in the right way

Chorus:
I had to let go, I had to let go, and had to let this go
I had to let, I had to let go, I had to let it all go
It was dying in my hands.

But I tried so hard
To believe in the things that I wish were true.
Here now in the dark
Do I wash my hands
Of the things I thought that I knew

Chorus

Bridge:
I believe in everything you say,
Just in a different way.
Everybody’s got their own thing.
So if you’re trying to pin me down
And ask me what I am
I guess I don’t understand the question.
I had to let go

Solo

I had to let go (repeat mucho!)
I had to let go, I had to let go, I had to let everything that I thought I knew go
I had to let go, I had to let go, even my faith, even my love
Everything that I know
I had to let go, I had to let go, rip it out of my hand
Let it fall to the floor
I had to let go, I had to let go, I had to let it all go.
