There are times when love soaks you to the bone
'N then those moments leave you wonderin'
If you'll lose your mind or lose control
Life is nothing without love
Love is nothing if not freedom
They tell me the gates of hell
That you shake 'n' you rattle
Are secretly locked from inside
You hope 'n' pray you'll find the one thing on your mind
Not until you know the art of letting go
'N' it may seem to be defying gravity
That's because they know the art of letting go
You may think you built a present perfect world
And you may wonder to yourself
Does anyone really know what else could ever matter?
But the man with his hand on the hammer
Wears a velvet glove
Does the rich man know he's poor?
Does the beggar care for much more than survival?
When you look into the eyes of children laughing
Do you remember who you were?
Or who you are?
Life is nothing without love
Love is nothing if not freedom
They tell me the gates of hell
That you shake 'n you rattle
Are secretly locked from inside
You hope and pray you'll find a love to last all time
Not until you know the art of letting go
And it may seem to be defying gravity
That's because they know the art of letting go
You're dying to believe in love eternally
Not until you know the art of letting go
And it may seem to be defying gravity
That's because we know the art of letting go
You can't go through it
Without going through it
'Til it goes through you
'Til you know the truth
