Charles Simmons Let It Ride lyrics

There were times I felt so blue / I didn't know what I should do
I couldn't shake it if I tried
And all was light had turned to grey / nothing seemed to go my way
So much loneliness inside

But in my darkest hour
The words of comfort gave me power
To turn my life around, My feet are on the ground
Now I see the world more clearly
I know that I don't need to run and hide
My mama used to say

When your heart is on the ground and your world is upside down
Let it ride
There will be another day / you will find a better way
So let it ride
When your heart is on the ground and your world is upside down
Let it ride

Whenever I was lonely / the words of mama consoled me
They gave me strength to carry on
Before too long I could touch the sky / I could hold my head up high
I never wondered again about where my life went wrong

And in my darkest hour
The words of wisdom gave me power
To move my life ahead / to live for love instead
And now the time has come for me to live my life

I know I must be strong
My mama used to say

When your heart is on the ground and your world is upside down
Let it ride
There will be another day / you will find a better way
So let it ride

When your heart is on the ground and your world is upside down
Let it ride
There will be another day / you will find a better way
So let it ride

Very soon the day will come when you will have to take a stand
It's time to make the sacrifice / it's time to be a man
So open up your eyes
So open up your eyes

[Chorus]

You've got to let it ride
Don't let this moment pass you by
and keep your head held high
Don't be afraid to live your life
