Lyrics

some may stumble, some may fall
some may rise above it all
some are humble, some make trouble
some are noble in their struggle
some just never hear that call
Oo oo oo oooh…

some walk slowly on the earth’s crust
some fly lonely in the stardust
some will fold and some will bust
some mislead and some will trust
some will love and some will merely lust

we let you go
we set you free
we send a songbird flying
forward toward harmony
yeah

Ah ah ah aaaah…

some would lead and some would follow
though some would lead us all astray
some believe greed’s a disease that leaves us weak
we feel the need to plant the seed of change

‘cause we all need air and we need water -
you bet your mama
we all need love to feel okay
Oh oh oh oh oh
we need to teach our sons and daughters
that we must respect our mother earth
before she shakes us all awake
Too late!

we let you go
we set you free
we send a songbird flying
forward toward harmony
yeah

Ah ah ah aaaah…

see when our legends have been lost
and our idols they are false
when our lines are double-crossed
and our brains have all been washed
when our angels start to fall
and our devils become gods
when our heroes turn out flawed
and our leaders they build walls
when the garden
it starts to rot
when the music it all stops
when that money’s all we’ve got
I think it’s time to move on

we let you go (we let you go)
we set you free (we set you free)
we let you go (we let you go)
we set you free (we set you free)
we send a songbird flying
forward toward harmony
yeah

Ah ah ah aaaah…

some will hope and some will pray
some will lie all night awake
some will say it’s all a game
and some will fight it just the same
some may gain
but in the end
we all pay
