Let It Go
Released February 2004(written by Doyle/Sampson/Daly)

Hey man, you don't know what you're missing
You count your curses and forget about the blessings
Don't you think you should learn a little lesson
What are you waiting for?

Hey man, what makes you so special
Can't seem to find the angels for the devils
Don't you think that if you learned to love a little
You'd live a whole lot more

Chorus
Let it Go Let it Go
This is smaller than you know
No bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road
Let it Go Let it Go
Got to leave it all behind you
Give the sun a chance to find you
Let it Go

Lift you head, there's no time for crying
You made your bed but don't think its fit to lie in
Wasted on the ground when you know you should be flying
What are you waiting for?

Bridge
How can a man not see
It seems so clear to me
You've just got to live and learn
Smile at the simple stuff
This road ain't long enough
To miss a single turn

Great Big Sea has a new CD, Something Beautiful out that I picked up not that long ago. The song above is one of the nicest tunes and lyrics on the CD.   And I like the sentiments of the song.  We often make mountains out of mole hills when we really should just let it go.  Blessing the Lord for the benefits we enjoy doesn't come natural or easy, but it is a better way to live than to always be grumping about life.
