Let it be tonight why don't you baby
A good song ain't hit the page since David's pen
It's not your fault
The older will serve the younger
Let him sleep for once she's praying lately
I wrestle to daybreak until something changes
If you can get the lights off I'll see you in the morning
If you can get the lights off
I know who I have to be for not me for the people coming after me
Never question my capacity for making music to the One who laid the path for me
'Cause I know what I'd rather be the 27 Club, #23, or guaranteed
By a different kind of currency that rust and thieves can't take from me
Ain't nothing free in the world but dying frankly
Somehow the only way to live is dying every day
If you don't know many are called but few are chosen
It's not what you say it's the way it sounds when you hear it
Crying for my sake her tears are poison
'Cause you wasted the whole day for an hour and some change
And you wasted the whole thing for an hour in some chains
I know who I have to be for not me for the people coming after me
Never question my capacity for making music to the One who laid the path for me
And I know who I'd rather be the 27 Club, #23, or guaranteed
By a different kind of currency that rust and thieves can't take from me
Just one more please don't hate me
Let me have the last word and I'll be on my way
You gotta go because you know you've got nothing to say
I've gotta go because I know I've got no reason to stay
I know who I have to be for not me for the people coming after me
Never question my capacity for making music to the One who laid the path for me
And I know who I'd rather be the 27 Club, #23, or guaranteed
By a different kind of currency that rust and thieves can't take from me
