On the corner of 5th and Broadway

I was walking to the grocery store on 3rd

I saw a man upon a box

And he seemed a little unorthodox

Though he was preaching up a storm

And as I walked on by

He said...



Don't worry about your life

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?



A little further on I saw

A begger 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

And now a dollar fifty could feed him for a week

And he said....



Don't worry about your life

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?



Don't worry about your life

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?



And I see the birds

Watch them fly high

They've got everything they need

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 said "This is what I know is true.

And I'll pass it right along to you"



Don't worry about your life

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?
