Let It Be Sung – English Lyrics

• By: Jack Johnson, Matt Costa

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There must be a forecast

That you won't let yourself see

So you keep watching as you're driftin'

Sail away from what you need

Why don't I just give you

Everything you'll take from me?

'Cause nobody owns anything

And everyone is free

That's why

This ship is goin' down

Desperately I need a sound

A song to sing so we could carry on

Just let it be sung so we could carry on

God fearing people at the bottom of the sea

Walkin' without lanterns, let a stone skip over thee

Hi ho, away as in the sea

Hi ho, be gone let's just dance

Waltz above the ocean

This ship is goin' down

Desperately I need a sound

A song to sing so we could carry on

Just let it be sung so we might carry on

Let it be sung so we

Let it be sung so we could carry on

I've heard all of the stories

And in them I've put my trust

You gotta touch the bottom before you can come back up

And I know what your heart is telling you

'Cause my hearts telling me the same thing too

This ship is goin' down

Desperately I need a sound

A song to sing so we could carry on

Just let it be sung so we might carry on

Let it be sung so we

Let it be sung so we could carry on
