The Answer
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.
How you gonna move with the baby?
How you gonna run down the street?
How you gonna get tired, get 'round the beat?
How you gonna pay the rent?
How you know what you spent?
How you gonna catch the answer to all these questions?
Let go
Let go
You need to let go
You gotta let go
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's a light
In your release
Let love win
Just give in
Goodness is bright
So you can see
The answer
How you gonna make her your lady?
Is she paying you no mind?
How you gonna keep her happy all the time?
How you gonna save your heart
From the world outside?
How you gonna get to the next one
If it don't work out right?
Let go
You know you gotta let go
You need to let go
You gotta let go
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's a light
In your release
Let love win
Just give in
Goodness is bright
So you can see
Find your strength (find your strength)
Fight for peace (fight for peace)
There's a light (there's a light)
In your release (in your release)
Let love win (let love win)
Just give in (just give in)
Goodness is bright (goodness is brighter)
So you can see
Can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see
The truth now
So much time will pass, the world will laugh
As we try to understand our fail on man
So many lines are crossed and lives are lost
While we walk around with our heads down
A thousand hearts will ache, a million souls will shake
In one space and yeah one time
If we could just connect the heart with the head
We'd be just fine, no judgment call of any kind
Find your strength (won't you find your strength?)
Fight for peace (fight for peace)
No war (no war)
In our streets (in the eyes of my streets)
Let love win (won't you let love win?)
Just give in (just give in)
Goodness is bright (goodness, goodness, goodness is brighter)
So you can see
Find you strength (won't you find your strength?)
Fight for peace (fight for your peace)
There's a light (there's a light)
In your release (shining in your street)
Let love win (let love win)
Just give in (just come on and give in)
Goodness is bright (goodness, goodness is brighter)
So you can see
Can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see the truth now?
Can you see it now?
Shining in front of your face
Can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see the truth
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's a light
In your release
Won't you let love win
Just give in
Goodness, goodness is bright
Find your strength
Fight for peace
There's a light
In your release
Won't you let love win
Just give in
Goodness, goodness is bright
