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 '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 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
