Live and Let Live (Dark-Side Mix)

From 2023 album 'i/o'

[Verse 1] Just how much does it have to hurt Before you let go the pain? And 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 are holding the key [Chorus] 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 'til it's gone [Verse 2] Just how long do you want to hatе With all that anger to burn? You dream of revеnge 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 [Chorus] 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 'til it's gone [Outro] 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 Ah 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
