[Verse 1] World’s been spinnin’ mighty fast, Maps don’t line up like they used to in the past. Paper trails and crossed-out names, Everybody runnin’ in a different lane. And I’m just here with a notebook and some light, Tryin’ to make the pieces fit just right. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause every machine I ever fixed in my life Had one small thing that eased the grind— [Chorus] Let it flow, let it breathe, Let the wheels turn easy, let the truth run free. Let it rise, let it unwind, A little shine on the gears, a little peace on my mind. Yeah, the whole world could move with a little more grace… If we learned to ease the strain in the right place. [Verse 2] People cross borders with stories untold, Dreams in their pockets, some heavy, some gold. Churches, charities, hustlers, kings— Funny how we’re different but we move the same things. And I don’t have the answers, never claimed I do, Just hummin’ on a question while I’m walkin’ with you. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause every heart I ever trusted in time Needed one small thing to keep the shine— [Chorus] Let it flow, let it breathe, Let the wheels turn easy, let the truth run free. Let it rise, let it unwind, A little shine on the gears, a little peace on my mind. Yeah, the whole world could move with a little more grace… If we learned to ease the strain in the right place. [Bridge] Maybe we’re all just broken clocks, Tickin’ out of rhythm ’til we learn to stop, Check the springs, tighten up the truth— Do a little mending on our worn-out youth. Life gets heavy when the days turn cold, But every bluesman knows how the story’s told— [Breakdown] It don’t take much… Just a drop of trust… Just a drop of love… Just enough… [Final Chorus] Let it flow, let it breathe, Let the wheels turn easy, let the truth run free. Let it rise, let it unwind, A little shine on the gears, a little peace on my mind. Yeah, the whole world could move with a little more grace… If we learned to ease the strain in the right place. [Outro] Mm-hmm… let it flow… Let the whole thing shine again.
