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
