Let It Live

(album: Windows Of Heaven - 1998)

There is life in shadowed caverns
Where the great blue dolphins go
In the forests, in the desert
In the winds and the snows
And it's all this precious cargo
Of our fragile Spaceship Earth
Countless voices crying out, yeah

Now, let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live

In the roaring, soaring cities
In the mills and in the mines
In the highways, byways
People work and live their lives
You know they struggle to raise their children
Hoping somehow they'll survive
Is it all that much to ask now, yeah?

Now, let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live

You know the miracle, the miracle
Is that we're here at all
In this timeless night
We are but fragments of light
You know the miracle, the miracle
May never come again
The planet is alive, my friends, yeah

Now, let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live

It's a hundred thousand light years
To the farthest fringes of space
There may be nothing out there
Even like the human race
No, we may be all alone now
On our tiny island home
And the planet is alive, my friends, yeah

Now, leave it alone, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live

Let it live, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah

You know the miracle, the miracle
Is that we're here at all
In this timeless night
We are but fragments of light
You know the miracle, the miracle
May never come again
And the planet is alive, my friends, yeah

Now, let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live
Let it live, let it live

Let it live, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ow)
