There must be a forecast
That you won't let yourself see
So you keep watching as you're driftin'
Sail away from what you needWhy don't I just give you
Everything you'll take from me
'Cause nobody owns anything
If everyone is free
That's whyThis ship is goin' down
Desperately I need a sound
A song to sing so we could carry on
Just let it be sung so we could carry onGod fearing people at the bottom of the sea
Walkin' without lanterns let a stone skip over thee
Hi ho we're weightless in the sea
Hi ho be gone and lets just dance
Waltz above the oceanThis ship is goin' down
Desperately I need a sound
A song to sing so we could carry on
Just let it be sung so we might carry on
Let it be sung so we
Let it be sung so we could carry onI've heard all of the stories
And in them I've put my trust
You gotta touch the bottom before you can come back up
And I know what you're heart is telling you
'Cause my hearts telling me the same thing tooThat this ship is goin' down
Desperately I need a sound
A song to sing so we could carry on
Just let it be sung so we might carry on
Let it be sung so we
Let it be sung so we could carry on
