[Verse 1] You chew on every question Til the edges start to fray Books stacked up like a fortress But your chest still feels the same You chase the clever answer Like a comet out of reach But the quiet in your ribcage Keeps saying what you mean [Chorus] You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be Only as brave as the truth that you speak You’re only as heart as your heart can be free So let it break open Let it break open Let it bleed You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be Only as whole as the love that you see You’re only as heart as your heart can be free So let it beat wild Let it beat wild in you and me [Verse 2] They cheer the way you sparkle When you’re sharp and on your game But when you’re soft and trembling You think it’s all a shame (oh no) But I have seen your kindness Turn a storm into a breeze That’s a kind of genius You don’t learn on any screen [Chorus] You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be Only as brave as the truth that you speak You’re only as heart as your heart can be free So let it break open Let it break open Let it bleed You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be Only as whole as the love that you see You’re only as heart as your heart can be free So let it beat wild Let it beat wild in you and me [Bridge] What if the measure Was mercy instead What if the brightest Was the one who forgave If being awake Means feeling it all Then every tear that falls Is making you strong (so strong) [Chorus] You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be Only as brave as the truth that you speak You’re only as heart as your heart can be free So let it break open Let it break open Let it bleed You’re only as smart as your soul lets you be (only as smart) Only as whole as the love that you see (only as whole) You’re only as heart as your heart can be free (let it beat wild) So let it beat wild Let it beat wild in you and me (oh) Let it beat wild Let it beat wild Finally free
