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)…

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)…
