Peter Gabriel - Live and Let Live (In-Side Mix) lyrics
[Peter Gabriel - Live and Let Live In-Side Mix lyrics]
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 word can lock you away
You can walk or you can choose to remain
But everyday 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 until it's gone
Just how long do you want to hate
With all that anger to burn?
You dream of revenge and you dream of reply
You'd hope that someday we'd 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 until it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah lay the burden down
I'm gonna lay the weapons down
Lay the burden down
And it's William Blake who inks his sting
Drawing out Martin Luther King
Tutu and Madiba saying rainbows do 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
Before you let go the pain?
Just how deep does it have to be
Before you yearn to be free again?
Every word can lock you away
You can walk or you can choose to remain
But everyday 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 until it's gone
Just how long do you want to hate
With all that anger to burn?
You dream of revenge and you dream of reply
You'd hope that someday we'd 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 until it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah lay the burden down
I'm gonna lay the weapons down
Lay the burden down
And it's William Blake who inks his sting
Drawing out Martin Luther King
Tutu and Madiba saying rainbows do 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
