Lyrics 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

I just let it go, let it flow
And all I can do is this
What you resist...
Persists

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

I just let it go, let it flow
And all you can do is this
But what you resist...
Persists

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

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

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
