Let It Happen

It's always around me, all this noise But not nearly as loud as the voice saying Let it happen, let it happen Just let it happen, let it happen All this running around Trying to cover my shadow A notion growing inside All the others seem shallow All this running around Bearing down on my shoulders I can hear an alarm It must be morning I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound And when it happens, when it happens Just let it happen, let it happen All this running around I can't fight it much longer Something's try'na get out And it's never been closer If my ticker fails Make up some other story But if I never come back Tell my mother I'm sorry Maybe I was ready all along Oh, baby, I was ready all along Maybe all I wanted was the sound of a memory I was ready all along
