Lyrics

Holding on through the years,
Always fed by my tears,
I carry this weight,
Though it's something I can't see.
And it takes all my time
To review every crime...
That's been committed against me.

Why not let it go? Why not be set free?
If I let it go, who will I be?

I dare not forget, lest they fail to regret
All the things they've done-
Though I'm the only one...
Keeping track of this debt,
And living in regret.
If I opened my eyes, maybe I'd realize...

Why not let it go? Why not be set free?
These are only chains hindering me.

Is it overrated, my desire to be vindicated?
Even if it's not, now I can choose...
To let God be the one
To deal with what's been done.
I can choose forgiveness instead of bitterness.

So why not let it go? Why not be set free?
Now that I know the truth, what's stopping me?

Now I let it go. Now I am set free.
It's time to find out who I can be.
