Lyrics
Let it Live
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a life in shadowed caverns
Where the great blue dolphins go
In the forests in the desert
In the winds and the snows
And it's all this precious cargo
Of our fragile Spaceship Earth
Countless voices crying out - yeah
Now Let it Live (8x)....
In the roaring, soaring cities
In the mills and in the mines
The highways the by-ways
People work and live their lives
You know they struggle to raise their children
Hoping somehow they'll survive
Is it all that much to ask now...yeah?
Let it Live...
You know the miracle, the miracle
Is that we're here at all
In this timeless night
We are but fragments of light
You know the miracle, the miracle
May never come again
The planet is alive my friends...yeah
Now Let it Live....
It's a hundred thousand light years
To the farthest fringes of space
There may be nothing out there
Even like the human race
No, we may be all alone now
On our tiny island home
And the planet is alive, my friends...yeah
Now leave it alone
Let it Live....
Bridge, Chorus
