Author's Note: This is just something I thought up when I heard the line in the song "Here I stand". Please note that the Catholic Church of Luther's day was quite corrupt, and this is not meant to offend any Catholics. Luther's influence actually created a counter reformation that greatly improved the Catholic church. I hope you enjoy Luther's perspective. Please Review, even a few words are very appreciated!
Let It Go (Martin Luther Version)
The Church sleeps well in their beds tonight
Not a stirring to be heard
The bishops say that it's alright
But our vision they have blurred
The clergy are clashing like the feuding storm inside
Could've been silent, heaven knows I've tried
Don't question them, don't try to see
Be the Catholic you always have to be
Conceal your doubt, don't let them know
Well now they know
Let it go, let it go
Stop the penance and the Pope
Let it go, let it go
Christ is our only hope
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the clergy rage on
Threats never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some study
Makes everything seem clear
The lies that once blinded me
Can't make me lend an ear
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No merit, no Pope, no chains for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
Coins won't get you onto the Way
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me pay
Here I stand
I can do no other
Let the Pope rage on
My conscious is a captive to God's own Word now
To the Pope nothing in all this world can make me bow
And one request swells up in me like the bubbles in my ale
May God help me
May His Word prevail
Let it go, let it go
May truth rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
The veil of lies is gone
Here I stand
I can do no other
Let the Church rage on,
Threats never bothered me anyway
