let it happen

through the years

we have come so far

working hard at finding out who we are

and all those tears

were only there to show us the way

and even now

in spite of what we know

we can end up hurting each other so

do you know how

to forgive me for the things that i say?

like a baby when it's crying

i am only trying

to find the secrets in your heart

and if i get too close for comfort

well

please don't run for cover

and leave me standing at the start

we are the river

see how it's flowing

and there's no way to stop it growing

so

let it happen. just let it happen

i tried to hide

the longing deep inside

filled the emptiness with my foolish pride

and even then

i could not leave my shadow behind

but i found out

that to get you've got to give

and i don't know no better way we can live

than the pride you lose

is equal to the love that you find
