Don't Worry - Rebecca St. James

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 unorthodox

He was preaching up a storm

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

Says he was a millionaire, 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 lose it

Don’t worry about your life

So won’t you let go

Before it’s gone

Then I see the birds

I watch them fly

They’ve got everything they 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 lose it

Don’t worry about your life

So won’t you let go before it’s gone
