If a light is turned on
We can turn it off
Or let it be.

If a fugitive is on the loose
We can capture him
Or let him be.

If a baby trips
We can break its fall
Or let it be.

If we insult a man
We can apologise
Or let it be.

If we are heartbroken
We can seek comfort in a friend
Or let it be.

If we fulfil a dream
We can celebrate
Or let it be.

If war breaks out
We can fight for peace
Or let it be.

If we are intoxicated at the wheel
We can let it be.
