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 my heart Now I know holdin' on too tight Is tearin' me apart Lettin' go of yesterday Lettin' in the light Searchin' for a brand new way And everything's all right Let love in Let love in, let love in Let it take you to a place you've never been Let love go, let love go Set it free so it can find its way back home
