Let Me Go
Lyrics by Benita Mae
Performed by Sarah Lloyde
The song “Let Me Go” was inspired by a book that my mother showed me about family members moving on and becoming what they were meant to be. I like this song very much.
When your given a book with no title-read it
When your given a CD with no cover-listen to it
When you see a island with no owner-explore it
Don’t think of anyone else, who would fit?
You can’t hold on forever
When someone tells you to forget you say never
Please just see this as me growing up
I’m not saying this was all not enough
I’m just being the person I was made to be, to be, to be
Please don’t see this as our last goodbye
Please don’t stand there and cry
It’s time for me to grow, it’s time to let me go
You have to let me go
You gotta let go, let me go
Please don’t look at me with that sad face
There’s nothing about you I would replace
I’ll never forget my family or my name
Even if things will never be the same
Just remember that I’m not gone
I’ll leave you a memory and a song
A memory and a song
Chorus
I will always love you as much as you love me
Trust me when I say there’s no place I’d rather be
I know you want to see me safe
I know you want to watch me grow
But if you love me then let me go
Chorus
