Let It Go
Great Big Sea
Hey man, you don't know what you're missing
You count your curses and forget about the blessings
Don't you think you should learn a little lesson
What are you waiting for?
Hey man, what makes you so special
Can't seem to find the angels for the devils
Don't you think that if you learned to love a little
You'd live a whole lot more
(Chorus)
Let it Go Let it Go
This is smaller than you know
It's no bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road
Let it Go Let it Go
Got to leave it all behind you
Give the sun a chance to find you
Let it Go
Hey man, there's no time for crying now
You made your bed but don't think its fit to lie in
Wasted on the ground when you know you should be flying
What are you waiting for?
(Chorus)
How can a man not see
It seems so clear to me
You've just got to live and learn
Smile at the simple stuff
This road ain't long enough
To miss a single turn
(Chorus)
I want to learn. I want to live my life learning from the oh-so-foolish mistakes I've made, and will make. But you know, it hurts. It hurts so much sometimes. However... I live, I breathe. I'm luckier than some, and more lucky than I deserve. Some people don't even have the chance at love. I've had my share, even if it's just a taste.
Lucky Me
Great Big Sea
He was born a sailors son
Nothing came easy or free
He suffered the squalls all the rises and falls
And everything else in between
But he says storms always fade after they've had their way
They're never as bad as they seem
As long as the rivers still run to the seas
Hey Lucky You Lucky Me
Who'd ever thought for a moment
She'd have to grow up so fast
School beauty queen with a child at sixteen
Swore that her fortunes had passed
But blessings can hide in the strangest disguise
I know that she would agree
Hey look at me in the spotlight
Ripped jeans and rock and roll hair
Feeling so cool but I’d be such a Fool
Singing to no one out there
So Hey take a bow every band needs a crowd
And I've got a song we can sing
::sings::
As long as the river still runs to the sea...
Hey lucky you... lucky me.
