Hey Guy,
this is a really touching and quietly powerful song — simple, folk-like, and deeply human. It already has a strong emotional backbone. In my opinion, what it could possibly use is a little polish for rhythm, natural phrasing, and poetic flow — without losing its innocence or universality. Here are a few ideas. Feel free to use anything here. All the best - Robert


You Better Let It Be

Verse 1
If a small bird wants to fly
Spread its wings across the sky
If a small bird wants to fly
Give it a lift — don’t ask it why

Pre-Chorus
When it’s the right time to try
When it’s the right time to try…

Chorus
You better let it be
You better let it be
You better let it be
Oh, just let it be

Verse 2
If a young boy wants to ride
Free and proud on his bike outside
If a young boy wants to ride
Let him go and trust his stride

Pre-Chorus
When it’s the right time to run
When it’s the right time to run…

Chorus
You better let it be
You better let it be
You better let it be
Oh, just let it be

Verse 3
If someone old wants to die
In peace beneath an open sky
If someone old wants to die
Please respect that last goodbye

Pre-Chorus
When it’s the right time to go
When it’s the right time to go…

Final Chorus
You better let it be
You better let it be
You better let it be
Oh, just let it be
