Take the time to make some sense Of what you want to say And cast your words away upon the waves Bring them back with Acquiesce On a ship of hope today And as they fall upon the shore Tell them not to fear no more Say it loud and sing it proud And they... Will dance if they want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they want to go All we know is that we don't know What is gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't let you understand Why we're all part of the master plan I'm not saying right is wrong It's up to us to make The best of all things that come our way And all the things that came have past The answer's in the looking glass There's four and twenty million doors Down life's endless corridor Say it loud and sing it proud And they... Will dance if they want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they want to go All we know is that we don't know What is gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't let you understand Why we're all part of the master plan
