Dave Gunning - Let Him Be lyrics

He was just a country kid, trying to find his way Living in a world, that was full of yesterday He heard a different drum, in the heat of the sun He would choose how to live, before the day was done Jumping from the train, he was running to be free To a cabin by the lake, that was hidden in the trees While the others went to war, and fell like autumn leaves For the loss of love, he'd take some time to grieve Let the woods grow tall around him Let the sun and rain surround him Let his music keep on sounding let him be Snow faded into spring, many times for the king In his palace of evergreen he would hide there never seen But then one day we found him as a humble old man They offered him a pension but he wouldn't take a hand Let the woods grow tall around him Let the sun and rain surround him Let his music keep on sounding let him be Just let him be alone Walking in the full moon Let him be alone He's already home The old cabin's gone, it burned to the ground They go looking still to find him but he doesn't make a sound 60 years of walking down, this long road alone He's earned the right to stay and choose how to go Let the woods grow tall around him Let the sun and rain surround him Let his music keep on sounding let him be His world surrounds him The sun and rain's all around him His music keeps on sounding let him be Just let him be Let him be Just let him be
