Lyrics for Live and Let Live - Bright-Side Mix

Just how much does it have to hurt Before you let go the pain? Just how deep does it have to be Before you yearn to be free again? Every wound can lock you away Or you can walk or you can choose to remain Every day can pass you by While you were holding the key This is how it turns This is what we do This is who we are When we forgive we can move on Release all the shackles One by one We belong to the burden 'Til it's gone Just how long do you want to hate With all that anger to burn? You dream of revenge and you dream a reply You hope that someday we learn Every time you think of that hurt It spins around in your mind With an eye for an eye Again and again until the whole world is blind This is how it turns This is what we do This is who we are When we forgive we can move on Release all the shackles One by one We belong to the burden 'Til it's gone Yeah, yeah, yeah Lay the burden down I'm gonna lay the weapons down Lay the burden down William Blake wakes his sting Drawing out Martin Luther King Tutu and Madiba saying rainbows still exist The voice of the Elders coming through the mist Lay the burden down (Lay the weapons down) Lay the burden down (Lay the weapons down) It takes courage (courage) To learn to forgive To be brave enough to listen To live and let live It takes courage (courage) To start to forgive To be brave enough to listen To live and let live, let live Let live, let live Let live and let live It takes courage (courage) To learn to forgive To be brave enough to listen To live and let live, let live (Live and let live, let live) Let live (Live and let live, let live) (Live and let live, let live) Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Let live
