Alastair Moock | Let it Go

I’ve been thinking ’bout last evening
‘Bout the things I should’ve said
I should’ve said I’m leaving
But I said I’ll stay instead
I’ve been thinking ’bout last evening
‘Bout the things I should’ve said
Last night’s out of my control
Man, you’ve got to let it go

I knew a kid whose brother
Used to stuff him in a sack
And to this day he blames
His luck with women on that fact
Yeah, I knew a kid whose brother
Used to stuff him in a sack
That was thirty years ago
Man, you’ve got to let it go

Moses split the ocean
Let the migrant children through
When Pharaoh’s army followed
The waters ’round them grew
Pharaoh shook his fist
Muttered to himself, Damn Jew
Moses called across the flow,
Man, you’ve got to let it go

Darwin told the people
That all living things evolve
The people said, That’s heresy,
The bible is the law
Charles said, Open up your eyes,
Where you think you got that jaw?
You’re a monkey in a coat
Good God, you’ve got to let it go

Saddam Hussein took potshots
At the presidential dad
Now the presidential son
Wants to drop bombs on Baghdad
That’d be fine if you could drop a bomb
On just a single head
But there’s kids down there, you know
Man, you should’ve let it go

Take me, Jesus, take me
Yes, and take me to the sky
This world has been my home
But it won’t be when I die
Oh, take me Jesus, take me
Won’t you take me by and by
When the body leaves the soul
That’s when you’ve got to let it go
