Analysis of Let It Go



I gave you a talent
I knew what you would do
Putting it safely away
You kept it just for you

It wasn't meant just for you
It was meant for others too
Take it out and share it
Put it in plain view

For hidden isn't seen
I need for it to be
Take it out and let it shine
For all the world to see

I meant for you to share
I wanted you to know
I will always give you more
If you will let it go
