lyrics

Keep your eyes on the heavy mountainside
Let your dreams spill and swallow all your pride
Now close your eyes
Leave those dreams behind

Let your heart set behind the shallow water
Let your mind race on all which you desire
Hold it close
Then let it go

Cursed with the touch of Midas where did the sun go?
The oceans of the golden coast swallowed it whole
We reap land for others yet forced to give up what we grow
Just let it go, just let it go…

Once the smoke clears forget about the feeling
Oh the truth hurts, takes time to find good healing
Hold it close
Then let it go

Let your heart set behind the shallow water
Let your mind race on all which you desire
Hold it close
Then let me go

Cursed with the touch of Midas where did the sun go?
The oceans of the golden coast swallowed it whole
We reap land for others yet forced to give up what we grow
Just let it go, just let it go…
