You frame him your cell, things he didn't do
You rebuke and you scorn then you make him feel blue

(Let him go)
You got to let him go
(Let him go)

(Let him go)
Let him, let him go, why, oh?
Let him go and me say, why, oh?

Let him, let him go, why, oh?
Let him go and me say, why, oh?

Remember he is young and he will live long so

I beg you let him, let him go
(Let him go)
Let him, let him go, why, oh?
