Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let it go, Let it go, Well well, let it go go go
Let your sword of vengeance rest
Oh, do the, do the blind lead the blind?
Well well don't be cruel to be kind
Only then, will your house be blessed

Yeah, offer prayer, offer prayer well well
offer sweet prayer, yeah now,
to your uninvited guest
Oh, won't you, give em the right,
yeah yeah, to be welcome, through the night
only then, will your house be blessed

Yeah, turn your cheek, turn your cheek
well, turn your other cheek
may your mercy manifest
Oh, when the hawk and the dove
flying circles 'round your love,
only then, will your house be blessed

Oh, let it go, let it go, well well, let it go go go
Let your sword of vengeance rest
Oh, do the, do the blind lead the blind?
Yeah yeah don't be cruel to be kind




Only then, will your house, woah, be blessed
Na na na haaa
