Midge Ure Let It Go Lyrics

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 seeked comforg, in a sea of fools And wrapped their lies around for protections But if lies were any answer at all Were 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 And walks across the flowers of affection Breaks them down into the soil we are sharing And leaves us with this life rejection Am I strong enough to stand my ground Lift my head and show the strength I've found Try to keep from hell or heaven bound 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

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

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
