When your problems seem so hard to bear
When it seems like love's not there
Fills you with sorrow
Makes you hope that there's no tomorrow
When you let the pressure rule your day
All the calmness goes away
It makes you hurry
Weakens your faith and makes you worry
Chorus
Baby won't you let it go
Don't hang on so tough
Baby won't you let it go
Life's not long enough
When your troubles get the upper hand
Things that we don't understand
Make life harder
Complicate problems and make them larger
Love will give us shelter from the storm
And I'll bring wood to keep us warm
When days get colder
Don't carry those burdens up on your shoulder
