Let It Be
My heart was hearty
I held my hopes high
I was geared to go far,
But hit a pothole instead
and got stuck with a flat –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight Karma no more.
I spread love all around
I smiled and shared my joy
But someone broke my heart,
Slighted me and made me cry –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight Karma no more.
I had my eyes set on spring,
Clear blue sky and balmy breeze,
But it’s fall – chilly, bare and gray,
and the winter’s waiting in the wings –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight Karma no more!
