Release Yourself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Release, release
Release yourself
Every day's a new day, everyday was carved
Move in to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
Every day's a challenge, every day we'll try
Lines got to find in toe to toe when I had you on
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Living for tomorrow, got your dreams all laid away
Ah, there's so much pressure, you deserve a break today
(Release)
Every thing's a problem and you can't take much more
Turn up the music, get your body on the floor
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Re, re, re, re, re, re, re
Release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Get up, get down, get up, get out
Do this, do that, solve your problem
Or no, you better jump that
Get up, go on, get up, get on
I do, I don't
Maybe I will but maybe I won't
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
Release, release, release yourself
You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
You're overworked, you're underpaid
You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
Overtime, you're earning, earning
But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
Why don't you just try to relax?
Cool it, cool it, cool it
Just a little
Got to find a new way, got to make us count
Listen to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
You've got the power, drink it off the shelf
If you don't enjoy your life, you can blame nobody else so
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go
Release, why don't you? Why don't you?
Release, why don't you? Let it go
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why don't you? Let it go
Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, let it
Let it go, go
Let it go, let it
Let it go, love it
Let it go, love it
Let it go
Let it re, re, re, release, release
(Release yourself, relax and let it go)
Release, release, release
(Release yourself)
Release, release, release
(Release yourself)
Release, release
(Release yourself)
