Let It Go
Four Kornerz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been fending for myself since sweet sixteen
Coz momma's boyfriend tried to hit on me
When I wouldn't give in to him sexually
That's when he started acting violently
I tried to tell my momma but she didn't believe
She said I'd led him on, tried to blame it on me
And until this day I'm living with the pain; I can't trust anyone again"
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
(He Said) "My girl don't understand me, she says I'm cold
But she don't understand what my heart holds
The first time that it happened I was 8 years old
Ever since that day not a soul I told
A friend of my family, how could he have done?
Took away my childhood like a magic wand
This will be our secret, is what he told me
How could this have happened, I just can't believe it happened to me"
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
I have never known real Love before
Like an old friend at an open door
Arms stretched out embracing from the cold
To hold you, and love you, protect you, keep you warm
This love, something I've been searching for
But I never realised that God could give so much more
It's not been easy letting go of the past,
But I can see that since I did I've been walking faster
I'm living again!
I'm living again
I'm living again
I finally, found it
I said I'm living again
I'm living again
I'm living again
(Let it go)
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You don't have to be alone
God's gonna help you on
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Keep your head up high
The song Let It Go by Four Kornerz addresses the struggles and pain experienced by two individuals who have been traumatized by the abuse they have faced growing up. The first verse describes a woman who has been victimized sexually by her mother's boyfriend. However, her mother, instead of protecting her, blames her for leading him on, and she is left to fend for herself. The second verse tells the story of a man who has been abused by a family friend since he was eight years old, leaving him unable to share his pain with anyone. However, the chorus encourages these two individuals with the message that they do not have to face their struggles alone; God is there for them, and they can take their pain to Him in prayer and let go of their past traumas. The final verse speaks of the healing power of love, emphasizing that God's love can fill the void left by past traumas and allow individuals to live again.
The song addresses the trauma caused by sexual abuse, especially when the victims are not believed or supported by their families. It also highlights the importance of seeking help from God and others in overcoming past traumas. Moreover, the song emphasizes faith in God's love and His ability to heal all kinds of pain.

(she said ) "I've grown up in a world that does not love me
I've had to cope with a world that's been hard on me
Been fending for myself since sweet sixteen
I've been surviving on my own since I was sixteen
Coz momma's boyfriend tried to hit on me
My mom's boyfriend made advances towards me
When I wouldn't give in to him sexually
When I refused his sexual advances
That's when he started acting violently
He became violent when I refused him
I tried to tell my momma but she didn't believe
I told my mom but she didn't believe me
She said I'd led him on, tried to blame it on me
She accused me of leading him on
And until this day I'm living with the pain; I can't trust anyone again"
I'm still hurting and find it hard to trust anyone
(He Said) "My girl don't understand me, she says I'm cold
"My girlfriend thinks I'm distant and unemotional"
But she don't understand what my heart holds
She doesn't realize the pain I carry inside
The first time that it happened I was 8 years old
It happened when I was just eight years old
Ever since that day not a soul I told
I've kept this pain inside and told no one
A friend of my family, how could he have done?
It was a member of my family's inner circle who did this
Took away my childhood like a magic wand
He took away my childhood in an instant
This will be our secret, is what he told me
He made me promise to keep it a secret
How could this have happened, I just can't believe it happened to me"
I still can't accept what happened to me
I have never known real Love before
I've never experienced true love
Like an old friend at an open door
Love is like a welcoming friend
Arms stretched out embracing from the cold
A hug that warms and protects me from the pain
To hold you, and love you, protect you, keep you warm
Love is all about holding, caring, and protecting
This love, something I've been searching for
I've been looking for this kind of love
But I never realised that God could give so much more
I've found that God can give me even more love than I expected
It's not been easy letting go of the past,
It's been difficult to leave the past behind
But I can see that since I did I've been walking faster
Since I moved on, I've been moving forward faster
I'm living again! I'm living again I'm living again
I'm finally living my life again
I finally, found it
I've finally found true love
Keep your head up high
Stay positive and hopeful
