Let It Go is a great song. Unlike other songs that are or were more popular in their time, Let It Go will be sung and enjoyed years from now and has become part of American, perhaps even world, culture.
For those of you who want to teach your children English and enjoy a shared experience with your children, Let It Go can be sung and loved by and at all ages.
Here’s are the sad parts of the song:
“Be the good girl you always have to be….”
“That perfect girl is gone….”
remember:
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Let it Go
Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
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 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 it 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 seems 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 am 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 crystallizes 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!
