Let It Go Lyrics – Idina Menzel
Soundtrack Album: Frozen
The snow glows white on the mountain night
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling
Like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway.
It's funny how some distance,
makes everything seem small,
and the fears that once controlled me,
can't get to me at all.
It's time to see what I can do.
To test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me!
I'm free!
Let it go, let it go,
I'm one with the wind and sky!
Let it go, let it go,
you'll never see me cry!
Here I stand and here I'll stay!
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground!
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around!
And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast!
I'm never going back,
the past is in the past.
Let it go, let it go,
And I'll rise like the break of dawn!
Let it go, let it go,
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand in the light of day!
Let the storm rage on,
the cold never bothered me anyway.
