If he came down from heaven
|
And cleared the lines from your face
|
Said so long to your mistakes
|
And questions and start over again
|
Look in his eyes,
|
You'll find your own reflection,
|
A face of hardship and pain
|
Your money saved and spent,
|
Your loves and losses,
|
They're not worth it again
|
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
They say we're made to live as one
|
Let this need to fear each other
|
Not be passed on to my son
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
Let your fears down rivers run
|
Let the silence be the music,
|
When their words are said and done
|
|
Now fate lands you out in the open,
|
A slave to the man inside your head
|
Your second chances,
|
They're buried deep in rock canyons
|
As you lie here in bed
|
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
They say we're made to live as one
|
Let this need to fear each other
|
Not be passed on to my son
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
Let your fears down rivers run
|
Let the silence be the music,
|
When their words are said and done
|
|
I feel like as people,
|
We're afraid to question,
|
Afraid of our heavens and our hells
|
My mother raised me with strength and measure
|
My father raised me too late
|
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
They say we're made to live as one
|
Let this need to fear each other
|
Not be passed on to my son
|
Let your beat go on forever,
|
Let your fears down rivers run
|
Let the silence be the music,
|
When their words are said and done
|

Let Your Beat Go On
