Let It Rain
Zac Brown Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We picked guitars and talked about how the glory days we missed 'em
And it didn't take too long to find the truth inside that bottle
Cast a-sea so long ago was a message from my father.
You keep your heart above your head and your eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go
Looking back now on my life I can't say I regret it
And all the places that I ended up not the way Ma woulda had it
But you only get once chance at life to leave your mark upon it
And when a pony he comes riding by you better set your sweet ass on it
And keep your heart above your head and you eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things that you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go
Like a sweet sunset in Georgia let it go
And like the fear that grabs a hold ya let it go
La la la la la la (let it go, let it go) let it go
La la la la la la (let it go, let it go) let it go
You keep your heart above your head and you eyes wide open
So this world can't find a way to leave you cold
And know you're not the only ship out on the ocean
Save your strength for things that you can change
Forgive the ones you can't
You gotta let it go
Learn to let it go
The Zac Brown Band's Let It Go is a song about letting go of the past and embracing one's present and future. The lyrics suggest that instead of dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, we should live in the present moment and focus on what we can control. The song begins with the singer spending the night with a friend and a bottle of whiskey, reminiscing about the past, and missing the "glory days." However, as they drink, they discover that the message from their father, who had long ago been cast out to sea, was to keep their heart above their head and their eyes wide open. They should not allow themselves to be left "cold" by the world, but rather save their strength for things they can change and forgive the ones they can't.
The lyrics in the chorus repeat this message of letting go and living in the present. The singer realizes that they can't change the past but can choose to live their life in a way that leaves a mark. The song ends with the refrain "let it go," a reminder to let go of the past and embrace the present.
Overall, Let It Go emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, living in the present, and focusing on what can be controlled. It encourages listeners to let go of past regrets and embrace the opportunities in front of them.
