Let's Go
Mark Schultz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, but you're looking out the window
And you're thinking that there's something more
You clear your head
You close your eyes
But something deep inside you cries
[Chorus]
Find the one that rolled away the stone
Let's go to the four inch hole
Find a way to give like we never gave before
Let's go, going far and wide
Pack your bag and leave it all behind
What are we waiting for?
Let's go
Back home through the middle of the
Parking lot
You give away the car
Give away the money that you've got
Neighbors will talk
And, oh, they should
Saying something ain't right
In the neighborhood
[Chorus]
The song "Let's Go" by Mark Schultz talks about a person who has a good job but feels unfulfilled and wants to pursue something greater.

The song suggests that the journey may be difficult and uncertain, but it's worth taking the risk.
The second verse of the song describes the person's decision to give away their car and all their money. This signifies a willingness to sacrifice everything for the journey ahead. It also suggests that the person values giving more than material possessions. The song ends on an optimistic note, urging the person to leave the mundane world behind and pursue the greater unknown.
