Let It Happen - Paul Brady

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?

Chorus

(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.

Repeat chorus
