When I was a young girl I heard the old folks say
You can't love just anyone, lock your heart away
So I learned to keep my heart way up on the shelf
Now I know you can't love anyone until you love yourself

Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place where you've never been
Let love in, let love in
You know you might never get this chance again

Now I am an older girl and wiser I believe
I don't lock my heart away, I wear in on the sleeve
When you're brave and true in love, you gotta learn to say goodbye
You can't live in memory, gotta spread your wings and fly

Let love go, let love go
Let it light a path through truth, through the unknown
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home

Now I know who I wanna be, now I know that my heart
Now I know holdin' on too tight is tearing me apart
Letting go of yesterday, letting in the light
Searching for a brand new way and everything's alright

Let love in, let love in

Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place where you've never been
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home
