A long road to wander
But a short path to the sea
The ocean inside you
Keeps calling to me
You've carried disappointment
Like a body on your back
Send it down the river and be free
When lightning flashes overhead
Remember what your mother said
You can't know
What you don't know
You've gotta let go
Let the day show you how
Oh you can't know
What you don't know
You've gotta let go somehow
I'll take you with me
If you'll come along
Tell me your secrets
I'll hold them strong
We'll build a house here
We'll write our own song
One note, one nail at a time
When lightning flashes overhead
Remember what your mother said
You can't know
What you don't know
You've gotta let go
Let the day show you how
Oh you can't know
What you don't know
You've gotta let go somehow
