Lyrics Let It Go? - Midge Ure

Let It Go?

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)…
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)…
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)…
