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 was was the best way   that they found but any other way   you choose is a break that   weighs you down   so tell me what do I do   with this backpack full of bricks   of 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 til 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 themslves 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   we oculd 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
