Don't Worry Lyrics - 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
