lyrics

Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all
Shake it off, step to another drum
Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord
Leave it all on the floor
Tonight I’m gonna take a look around
Why would I ever be to another bound?
Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more
Leave it all on the floor

Sometimes we get what we don’t deserve
Thank you Lord that the sun shines on the just and the unjust
Baby, will you please forgive me
I had it all, I just couldn’t see the treasure that I held in my own arms

So tonight fix my eyes on the prize
Let go of my pride and my lies for my life

Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all
Shake it off, step to another drum
Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord
Leave it all on the floor
Tonight I’m gonna take a look around
Why would I ever be to another bound?
Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more
Leave it all on the floor

I remember you walking towards me
My feet on stone, heart on fire, melting in November cold
Baby, you were such a rebel
I was nothing more than a good pretender
Now we’re one
I wanna make you proud of what we become

So tonight fix my eyes on the prize
Let go of my pride and my lies for my life

Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all
Shake it off, step to another drum
Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord
Leave it all on the floor
Tonight I’m gonna take a look around
Why would I ever be to another bound?
Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more
Leave it all on the floor

Tonight I’m gonna get it
Didn’t know I had it, but you can be sure I’m leaving with it, so I…
(Thank you Lord)
Because this is it (and I know just what it isn’t)
This present that you’ve been blessing
You’re love has been so persistent for me

Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all
Shake it off, step to another drum
Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord
Leave it all on the floor
Tonight I’m gonna take a look around
Why would I ever be to another bound?
Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more
Leave it all on the floor

Tonight I'm gonna let it go
Tonight I'm gonna let it go
