Let It Happen

  • It's always around me, all this noise
    But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
    "Let it happen, let it happen (it's gonna feel so good)
    Just let it happen, let it happen"

    All this running around
    Trying to cover my shadow
    A notion growing inside
    Now all the others seem shallow
    All this running around
    Bearing down on my shoulders
    I can hear an alarm
    Must be morning

    I heard about a whirlwind that's comin' 'round
    It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound
    And when it happens, when it happens (I won't be holdin' on)
    So let it happen, let it happen

    All this running around
    I can't fight it much longer
    Something's tryna get out
    And it's never been closer
    If my take-off fails
    Make up some other story
    But if I never come back
    Tell my mother I'm sorry

    I will not vanish and you will not scare me
    Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
    You were not thinkin' that I will not do it
    They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
    Take the next ticket to take the next train
    Why would I do it? And you wanna think that

    (I will not vanish and you will not scare me)
    (Try to get through it, try to bounce to it)
    (You were not thinkin' that I will not do it)
    (They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid)
    (Take the next ticket to take the next train)
    (Why would I do it? And you wanna think that)

    (I will not vanish and you will not scare me)
    (Try to get through it, try to bounce to it)
    (You were not thinkin' that I will not do it)
    (They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid)
    (Take the next ticket to take the next train)
    (Why would I do it? And you wanna think that)

    Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
    Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
    Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
    Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
    Oh, baby, now I'm ready, moving on
    Oh, but maybe I was ready all along
    Oh, I'm ready for the moment and the sound
    Oh, but maybe I was ready all along Writer/s: Kevin Richard Parker
