Dont Worry Lyrics
On the corner of Fifth and Broadway
I was walking to the grocery store on Third
I saw a man up on a box
He seemed a little unorhtodox
Well he was preaching up a storm
And as I walked on by he said
Don't worry about your life
Cause if you hold it too close
You'll 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 beggar 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
Now a dollar fifty could feed him for a week
And he said
Don't worry about your life
Cause if you hold it too close
You'll lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go
Before its's gone
Then I see the birds
I watch them fly
They've got everything the need
They 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 smiled and said
This is what I know is true
And I'll pass it right along to you
Don't worry about your life
Cause if you hold it too close
You'll lose it
I was walking to the grocery store on Third
I saw a man up on a box
He seemed a little unorhtodox
Well he was preaching up a storm
And as I walked on by he said
Cause if you hold it too close
You'll lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go
Before it's gone
He asked for change and then gives me his life story
He said he was a millionaire
But he made some bad decisions there
Now a dollar fifty could feed him for a week
And he said
Cause if you hold it too close

Before its's gone
I watch them fly
They've got everything the need

Knowing You will care for me

And I smiled and said
This is what I know is true
And I'll pass it right along to you
Cause if you hold it too close
You'll lose it

I've always thought the last line of the chorus would be better as "And let God use it". It rhymes with "lose it" and invokes the old "Let go and let God".
