Just Let Me Be
JUST LET ME BE
Never, never, never, never quit,
Mr. Churchill's the one who said it.
Of course, he had to stop,
Because now he's dead,
But he never did quit,
Time just ran out instead.
And it's not that I want to quit,
No, that's really not it.
There's just nowhere I want to go,
And that is sad,
It wasn't always so.
I'VE CLIMBED EVERY MOUNTAIN,
FORDED EVERY STREAM,
SEEKING THE RAINBOW'S END,
FOLLOWING A DREAM.
I'VE CHASED THE STARS, CIRCLED THE PLANETS,
RUN ACROSS CLOUDS AND THE SEA,
BUT NOW I JUST WANT TO SIT,
AND ASK JUST LET ME BE.
I'm down for the count but it's not reached ten,
So maybe I will rise again.
It hurts to feel so weak,
When you've always felt so strong,
But then you realize
You were really weak all along.
And something that's really odd,
For years I looked to God,
But now I find that as I bleed,
There is no healer, No one to lead.
I'VE CLIMBED EVERY MOUNTAIN,
FORDED EVERY STREAM,
SEEKING THE RAINBOW'S END,
FOLLOWING A DREAM.
I'VE CHASED THE STARS, CIRCLED THE PLANETS,
RUN ACROSS CLOUDS AND THE SEA,
BUT NOW I JUST WANT TO SIT,
AND ASK JUST LET ME BE.
