You sit there talking about saying I’ll be your bird and I tell
You love isn’t here anymore but you laugh and say
You won’t forget girl, you’ll come running back
I could still bring the moon down and push the sun back

I say to you the truth that you got to let things happen let life take it’s
Course you got to let things happen for better or worse
I know you think it hard for me to let it go boy but you
Are wrong

You can’t make the bird fall out of the sky you can’t make the fish
Walk on earth or the deer run in water you can’t stop the world from spinning
Anyone can tell you that you can’t change so much
That you are not what you think you are


I say to you the truth that you got to let things happen let life take it’s
Course you got to let things happen for better or worse
I know you think it hard for me to let it go boy but you
Are wrong

Don’t change everything we had because it won’t do much
You wonder why I’d change my mind I am free now
Ready to fly and keep this world the way it is right now

I won’t let you change this world because you’re unhappy now
You got to let things happen let life take its
Course you got to let things happen for better or worse
You keep saying you’ll be back girl I will change you

You got let things happen let life take its course
You got let things happen for better or for worse and let things happen
You have to let go now no matter what
You got let things happen let life take its course
You got let things happen for better or for worse and let things happen
You got let things happen you got let things happen
You got let things happen
