Some people say "Don't go away just stay right here" 
Some say "If you stay at home you're gonna wind up alone" 
Now you know you can't go two different 
ways you can't believe everything you hear 
And if you always do just what you're told 
then you've got no mind of your own 
So if each man has a different plan let 'em go let 'em go 
You have a power all your own 
There's a spirit child inside you ready for life and I know 
It's just waiting to see how you will grow 
And when the spirit feels the need to wander let it go 
Sometimes they say the only way is to really sing that song 
Sometimes they say you're singing that way too loud too long 
And if they can't make up their minds then I think I'll make up mine 
Whatever way I feel is the only way I'm gonna sing that song 
And if people don't seem to like it that's O.K. let 'em go 
Some day they'll sing a song of their own 
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know 
It's just waiting to see how they will grow 
And when their spirit feels a need to wander I'm sure they'll go 
Some people said "Try this,it'll make your smile" 
Some said "Don't touch it, you end up crying" 
Well it felt so good for a while but then I saw too many dying 
When all they wanted to do was get a little higher 
So if the game won't follow through let it go let it go 
And leave the loaded dice alone 
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know 
It's just waiting to see how they will grow 
One too many-users lose it all 
Then there's no one-no one to help then break the fall 
People just like you who say "Oh no that won't be me" 
End up face down-is that where you wanted to be 
So if it's going to bring you trouble let it go let it go 
Remember that doesn't mean you'll be all alone 
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know 
It's just waiting to see how you will grow.
