Let It Go?

Let It Go? - Midge Ure

Once I saw a promised land

Wrapped in many shades of green

But I sat and watched the world go by

Confused by all the things I've seen

Should I stand up

Say what's on my mind

Point my finger at the wrong I find

Let it linger till another time

Or let it go

I've seen forests turn to fields of sand

To satisfy a rich man's greed

Now the tears that fall upon this land

Won't help to grow a nation's needs

Should I shout out from

The highest tower

Should I take it to the highest power

Show the plague that turns

A whole world sour

Or let it go

I seek comfort in a sea of fools

And wrap their lies around

For protection

But if lies were any answer at all

We're just adding to this world infection

Can I turn and smile and kiss it away

Leave it lying for another day

Should I fall down on my knees and pray

Or let it go

There's a passion

That destroys all the caring

(ah-ah ah-ah)

And walks across

The flowers of affection (ah-ah ah-ah)

Breaks them down into

The soil we are sharing (ah-ah ah-ah)

And leaves us with this

Life of rejection (ah-ah ah-ah)

Am I strong enough to stand my ground

(ah-ah ah-ah)

Lift my head and show

The strength I've found (ah-ah ah-ah)

Try to keep from hell

Or heaven bound (ah-ah ah-ah)

Or let it go

Don't let it go

Should I shout out from the highest tower

Should I take it to the highest power

Show the plague that turns

A whole world sour

Or let it go

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

Can I turn and smile

And kiss it away

Leave it lying for another day

Should I fall down on my knees and pray

Or let it go

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

Should I stand up

Say what's on my mind

Point a finger at the wrong I find

Let it linger till another time

Or let it go

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)

(Ahahahahaaa)
