No matter what the people say
I can't let go
I can't let go
No, no (oh)

Why must they try to tear down my house when they know it's made from love?
And they could never stand in my way
We made a vow to love through it all
We are one
And no one has the right to tear my love down

No matter what the people say, I'm gonna love you anyway
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try till we get it right
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life
I can't let go
I can't
I can't let you go

How dare they say
That a love like ours won't last?
God made no mistakes
When He sheltered me with your heart
There's no safer place than to be in love
And here I will stand
And there ain't never
Ain't gonna never ever leave you alone

No matter what the people say, I'm gonna love you anyway
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try till we get it right
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life
I can't let go
I can't
I can't let you go

All that I know now is to give you all of me
And no matter how long I take
And every part of me belongs to your love
Help me, help me

No matter what the people say, I'm gonna love you anyway
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we fuss or fight, try till we get it right
You are my life
I can't let go
Even if we disagree, you can put it all on me
You are my life
I can't let go
I can't
I can't let you go

    I agree.. This song is amazing. <3 but I don't think its a struggle between him & an impossible love.. The love is possible.. people just aren't realizing that his feelings are so strong..his love is so deep that he's gunna work at everything to keep it.. He won't let the love of his life go .. He's willing to stick around no matter what happens.. For better or for worse

    Ahhh anthony<3

    Well, I think this song explains a struggle between him and an impossible love. People do not approve but he refuses to let go. Good song, kinda awkward no one has commented yet. I think he's really talented, he has an awesome voice, really genuine.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
