Let Me Go

From the expectations that you have of me

(Oh, release me)

From the grievous harm you think I'd cause

(Oh, release me)

From unjust incarcerations that you hand me

(Oh, release me)

From the malignant words you speak of me

(Oh, release me)

From the shackles of my coloured skin

(Oh, release me)

From red flags when you hear my name

(Oh, release me)

From the opportunities you steal from me

(Oh, release me)

All because you think I'm not worthy

(Oh, release me)

Let me go

To sing my song

Let me go

So I can find where I belong

Let me go

This is my prayer

Maybe so

I can find where I belong

From the faith that you think I lack

(Oh, release me)

From respect you think I don't have

(Oh, release me)

From the tainted love you think I give

(Oh, release me)

All because you think I love differently

(Oh, release me)

From the depths of hell you've cursed me to

(Oh, release me)

From the holy words you think that I don't hear

(Oh, release me)

The very words you use to kill my being

(Oh, release me)

All because you think God loves differently

(Oh, release me)

Let me go

To sing my song (Sing my song; let me sing my song)

Let me go (Let me go; please let me go)

So I can find where I belong (I belong; I belong)

Let me go (Let me go; please let me go)

This is my prayer

(This is my prayer, my prayer!This is my prayer, my prayer!)

Maybe so (Maybe so; then maybe so)

I can find where I belong (I belong; I belong)

Give me hope

This is my prayer

(This is my prayer, oh Lord! This is my prayer, oh God!)

Give me hope (Please let me go)

So I can find where I belong

(I belong)
