Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? On the corner of 5th and Broadway I was walking to the grocery store on 3rd I saw a man upon a box And he seemed a little unorthodox Though he was preaching up a storm And as I walked on by He said... Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? A little further on I saw A begger on the street He asked for change And then gives me his life story He said he was a millionaire But he made some bad decisions there And now a dollar fifty could feed him for a week And he said... Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? And I see the birds Watch them fly high They've got everything they need Show me why. I can be free knowing You will care for me! Finally at the grocery store My mind is filled with many thoughts As I bump into a girl I knew from High School She said "What's different about you girl?" And I said "This is what I know is true. And I'll pass it right along to you." Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone? Don't worry about your life If you hold it too close you lose it Don't worry about your life So won't you let go before it's gone?
