lyrics

This one and this one and that one
Destroying all that’s won
A few amongst the many
And many amongst the few

Some say all’s well in Jerusalem
Some say we fell off the road again
Gentle world lost to the pendulum
Swing high swing low, let the gentle touch return

The same song but redone
In the junkyards and the slum
Feed the thirst that’s overwhelming

And maybe, most definitely
The changeling’s being born
As we speak it’s being torn
From the sins of our fathers

Some say heaven is in air that we breath
We contain the spark of the divine when we weep
For our brothers

And break me or move me
Oh but for God sake just allude to a slither of hope
And rise just take us from these prison walls that broke us
It’s the end of the road
Or the beginning of something new

Some say there’s hope amongst the worst of us
But I must be blind, my ears hurt for the endless repeats
From the dimming sun to the warring winds
Search endlessly and be free

Don’t let it be

Cos it’s this one and this one and that one
Grow slowly, you will see
Change amongst the many
The same song but redone
Familiar as it is

Don’t let it be

Some say hell is just a symbol of despair
In the junkyard and slums
It’s the weakest that needs care

Don’t let it be
Don’t, don’t, don’t let it be
Don’t let it be
Don’t, don’t, don’t let it be
Don’t let it be
