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.
Don't let them in, don't let them see.
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go!
Can't hold it back any more.
Let it go, let it go!
Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
It's funny how some distance,
makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do,
to test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me.
I'm free!
Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go, let it go.
You'll never see me cry.
Here I'll stand, and here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on.
My power flurries through the air into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back; the past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go.
And I'll rise like the break of dawn.
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand, in the light of day.
Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway...

HOLLYWOOD | Songwriter Robert Lopez gave the Philippines some Oscars joy on Sunday as he completed a rare quadruple triumph at the 86th Academy Awards.
The 39-year-old American scooped the Oscar for best original song for “Let It Go” from the Disney hit animated film “Frozen.”
The win, which Lopez shared with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez, saw the songwriter join an elite band who have won the grand slam of entertainment industry awards — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony — or “EGOT”.
Lopez, who is of Filipino descent, paid tribute to his ancestral homeland during a backstage press conference after the win.
“Filipino pride. I’m so excited. I’m just sending love to the Philippines,” said Lopez.
“I know they’ve had a tough year and I just send out my feelings to them,” he said, referring to the devastating Typhoon Haiyan which battered the country last November, leaving thousands dead.
Lopez and his wife revealed they are planning a benefit concert for the Philippines on March 12 in New York.
Meanwhile, Anderson-Lopez presented her husband with a home-made necklace to commemorate his “EGOT” status.
“The girls and I made something for you, Bobby. Just in case this moment happened. We made it last week,” she said, hanging it around his neck.
“It’s made of pasta.”
Lopez meanwhile paid tribute to the input of his wife on his phenomenally successful career.
“(She) has been in the background of all of my work — for every single show that she’s not received credit for, she’s been whispering in my ear the whole time,” he said.
“So, I’m glad that she is finally getting credit for being the amazing artist that I’ve always known that she is.”
