Let It Be
Words and music by Malvina Reynolds
When you walk in the forest, let it be.
There’s a flower in the wood, let it be.
There’s a flower in the wood, and it’s innocent and good,
By the stone where it stands, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
It’s so lovely where it is, let it be.
Tho you want it for your own,
If you take it from its place,
It will not be what it was when you loved it
Where it stood in the wood.
Let it be, let it be,
It’s so lovely where it is, let it be.
It’s a thoughtful child,
Innocent and wild,
By the stone, by the reed,
