some people bring you gifts, some bring you bricks to weigh you down
so they can swim a little higher, while you drown
some people mean so well, their way was the best way that they found
but any other way you choose is a brick that weights you down
so tell me, what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
and sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
of all the words we saved till we were our own enemies
let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
let it be
some people give themselves a brick, I know most people do
when we compare, we fall short somewhere, it's always true
if all we see is where we fall, we've bricked a prison wall
instead of trying to learn to fly, we've taught ourselves to crawl
so tell me, what do I do with this backpack full of bricks
and sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can be free
of all the words we saved till we were our own enemies
let it go, let it be
brick by brick we can believe
in the person God intended us to be
let it be
we could believe in ourselves more, we could try for unique
instead of trying to conform
we could defy what they tell us, don't buy the lies they sell us
if we're brave we can believe in what we are
