Just Say Yes

Ben Lee · Ripe [2007]

It's not hard to see

The truth will set you free

So you take what you want

And I'll take what I need

What's the point in praying

If you don't mean what you're saying

Everything you've chased is here and now

Love is a reason to exist

So let it all go and just say yes

If it feels right then why resist

Throw down your arms and just say yes

And I was often told

To mine a heart of gold

To find a destiny

Waiting there for me

There's no point in demanding

Total understanding

When everything you've craved is here and now

Love is a reason to exist

So let it all go and just say yes

If it feels right then why resist

Throw down your arms and just say yes

Just say yes, Just say yes

There's nothing to be 'shamed of

If it's hurting you're afraid of

Everything you need is here and now

Love is a reason to exist

So let it all go and just say yes

If it feels right then why resist

Throw down your arms and just say yes

Just say yes, Just say yes

Just say yes

Just say yes

Just say yes
