If I Had Something
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
If i had something to tell you
If i had something to say
I'd wrap the words in my heart and give them away
If i could sail on your ocean, i'd raise my sails today
And point to all of the stars that guide your way
And when it seems like the gods are acting selfish
And they want your heart to pin it to the cross
And you feel at a loss
No one there to show you the way
I can't pretend that it's easy to let go and be free
Let it be
Let it be
If all the frozen people
They all look to cold today
Open your heart and they'll all melt away
And if all we did together
Somehow don't seem so good
Please understand that i always understood
And when it seems like the gods are acting selfish
And they want your heart to pin it to their cross
And you feel at a loss
No one there to show you the way
I won't pretend that it's easy
To let go and be free
Let it be
Let it be
If i had something to say
I'd wrap the words in my heart and give them away
If i could sail on your ocean, i'd raise my sails today
And point to all of the stars that guide your way
And when it seems like the gods are acting selfish
And they want your heart to pin it to the cross
And you feel at a loss
No one there to show you the way
I can't pretend that it's easy to let go and be free
Let it be
Let it be
If all the frozen people
They all look to cold today
Open your heart and they'll all melt away
And if all we did together
Somehow don't seem so good
Please understand that i always understood
And when it seems like the gods are acting selfish
And they want your heart to pin it to their cross
And you feel at a loss
No one there to show you the way
I won't pretend that it's easy
To let go and be free
Let it be
Let it be
