Verse:
You are waiting on a beach,
For a healing word to come
maybe an Apology in a bottle
Maybe a flair that says I'm sorry
and the hurting leaves you numb
Chorus:
Will you forgive Will you forget
Will you live what you know
He left his rights, will you leave yours
You won't understand it, let it go.
Verse 2:
You are waiting on a beach
This is where the East meets West
As another sun sets on your Anger
The darkness laughs as the wound destroys
and it turns your prayers to noise
Chorus 2:
Will you forgive Will you forget
Will you live what you know
Beneath the cross you hear His words
"Father forgive them."
You can't understand it, let it go.
You won't understand it, let it go.
Bridge:
This bitterness you hide
it seeps into your soul
And steals your joy
'til it's all you know
so Let it go let it go let it go let it go
Chorus:
End:
Just Let it Go (x9)
