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?

(You see) 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
