What You Resist Persists - Justin Hayward

The ghosts of the past have always haunted me

All of these years down this long road

There, at my side, my fellow travellers

What it all means nobody knows

‘Cause what you resist persists

(Chorus)

I just let it go, let it flow

And all I can do is this

What you resist…

Persists

(Verse)

The days of our youth may be behind us now

Our guitars ever green, forever blue

When we will say what are you working for?

Well me, I’m still paying my dues

‘Cause what you resist persists

(Chorus)

I just let it go, let it flow

And all you can do is this

But what you resist…

Persists

(Verse)

I’m so glad that I walked this road with you

Into the light, it’s a beautiful sight

Feel the love every night

Coming through

(Verse)

I knew right away that it was meant to be

I knew it was you right from the start

With the weight of the world and all its broken dreams

My friend tried to follow your heart

‘Cause what you resist persists

(Chorus)

Just let it go, let it flow

When all you can do is this

What you resist…

Persists

I just let it go, let it flow

All we can do is this

What you resist…

Persists
