You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around If there ain't all that much to lug around Better run like hell when you hit the ground When the morning comes When the morning comes You can't stop these kids from dancin' Why would you want to? Especially when your already gettin' yours 'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend Well don't go blamin' the kids again When the morning comes When the morning comes When the morning comes When the morning comes When the morning comes When the morning comes Let it go, this too shall pass Let it go, this too shall pass Let it go, this too shall pass (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down, no, you can't keep lettin' it get you down) Let it go, this too shall pass (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down, no, you can't keep lettin' it get you down) When the morning comes (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
