[Verse 1] I see you dancin’ in the kitchen at 2 a.m. Paintin’ on canvases that nobody understands Singing off-key with your headphones on blast Chasin’ that wild idea nobody else has [Pre-chorus] But I ain’t here to throw shade on your flame I got my own crazy, I’m playin’ the same [Chorus] So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly I ain’t here to criticize what lights up your life So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly Do what you do till the day that you die Whoa-oh, oh [Verse 2] He plays video games after work each day She likes to dance around a pole in a bar He’s writing poems that may never get read A man trying hard swears we will get to mars [Pre-chorus] But I’ve learned the hard way that joy’s hard to find Many like them made life better for you and I [Final Chorus (bigger, with harmonies)] So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly high So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly high I refuse to throw rocks for those reaching for the sky Do what you love till the stars say goodbye We only get one life — let it burn bright Whoa-oh, let ‘em shine, let ‘em shine Whoa-oh, I’m done criticizing what makes us alive [outro] So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly So let ‘em run, let ‘em sing, let ‘em fly I ain’t here to criticize what lights up their life Whoa-oh, oh Yeah… go on and do what you love. I got your back from over here doing mine. .
