You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down
And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground

When the morning comes
When the morning comes

You can't stop these kids from dancin'
Why would you want to?
Especially when your already gettin' yours
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend
Well don't go blamin' the kids again

When the morning comes
When the morning comes

When the morning comes
When the morning comes

When the morning comes
When the morning comes

Let it go, this too shall pass
Let it go, this too shall pass

Let it go, this too shall pass
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down, no, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

Let it go, this too shall pass
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down, no, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

    Song MeaningIts pretty obvious that the meaning of the song is that everything in life, all emotions, events, people, will all pass with time. This too shall pass is a saying that you would refer to in a bad situation where things aren't going your way, and you would remember that it will pass and something greater will soon come.

    General CommentThe great thing about this song and all great songs is it has individual meaning for each listener. For me, the first time I heard it, I thought of an ex-girlfriend that I sometimes have to smile and pretend everything is okay between us. In truth I hate her and have never forgiven her for lying and being a cheat. I guess I feel guilty about not moving past that after all these years and the song just reminded me I shouldn't be dragging it around with me when I don't need to.

    General CommentI think this song sounds uplifting even if you don't understand a word they say! The video is so good that it serves as a distraction from how good the song is.

    General CommentCorrect lyrics from booklet:

    You know you can't keep letting it get you down
    And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around
    If there ain't all that much to love around
    Better run like hell when you hit the ground

    When the morning comes

    You can't stop these kids from dancing, and why would you want to
    Especially when when you are already getting yours?
    'Cause if your mind don't move, and your knees don't bend
    Well don't start blaming the kids again

    When the morning comes

    Let it go
    This too shall pass

    You know you can't keep letting it get you down
    No you can't keep letting it get you down
    If there ain't all that much to love around,
    Oh you can't keep letting it get you down.

    My InterpretationClearly this song is about Rube Goldberg machines. Each link in the chain will soon pass and the next will be triggered. Why are you fools so blind to the truth?

    General CommentI read somewhere that I've already forgotten that it was written with the recession in mind.
