Let it go: Pop
Jack, Merida, Hicca and Rapunzel wandered around their new home. Who knew freedom came in a variety of prices. But that didn't matter. Not anymore. Never again would it matter.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
Jack turned and walked over to a window. She laid a hand on the cold ice that served as glass. The mountains she had climbed stared back at her. Hicca walked up to her. Slowly, Merida and Rapunzel walked over as well. Beyond that mountain laid their past.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
It wasn't right. To keep it all. Had their parents kept their word, had they really helped them, they would have never left. But... they were told to stay hidden, and now look at them. Look at where they are...
Don't let them in, don't let them see,
Be the good girl you always had to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.
Well, now they know.
But...maybe, just maybe, it was for the best. They had no limitations. They found a new family. They found each other.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
They were home. They wouldn't go back. They wouldn't go back down that mountain. They wouldn't leave who they were now.
Jack, Queen of Winter.
Rapunzel, Queen of Spring.
Merida, Queen of Summer.
Hicca, Queen of Autumn.
Bringer of Joy.
Bringer of Creativity.
Bringer of Courage.
Bringer of Change.
Protector of Laughter.
Protector of Beauty.
Protectory of Liberty.
Protector of Chance.
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe.
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve.
It was...a relief. To get away. To see their powers fly freely. It wasn't like they wanted this to happen. But it did.
"Conceal..." Hicca whispered.
"Don't feel..." the others replied.
They looked at each other, "Don't conceal it, feel it, let it go..."
Their past could come searching for them, but...
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
no. No. They weren't leaving. They weren't going to cry. They weren't going to give in. This is who they are. Not a lost princess. Not a dragon conqueror. Not a lady like princess. Not a bride to be. No. They were different. They were...
Standing frozen
In the life I've chosen.
You won't find me.
The past is all behind me
Buried in the snow.
They were the Seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. They were joy, creativity, courage and change. They were laughter, beauty, liberty, and chance.
They couldn't change who they were. They wouldn't change who they were. Not yet. No.
Not ever.
"Do you regret leaving?" Rapunzel asked as the sun began to set.
"No..." Jack whispered.
"Not even a little," Merida added.
Hicca was silent for a while, "I always knew I would leave...so, I don't. And I don't think I ever will."
Rapunzel nodded, "Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't have any regrets..."
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway, yeah, whoa
(Na na, na na, na na na na) [4x]
Let it go yeah
Na, na.
Here I stand.
Let it go, let it go, oh
Let it go.
Yes. They missed their families. But...
somethings just have to be let go.
Somethings...just have to be forgotten.
And in time, they will forget.
This just proved the seasons were stronger together. In time, the past will find them again, but by the time it does, they will be far too gone to return.
