Van morrison i have finally come to realize lyrics

I have finally come to realise

Child don't do what I have done

Cut my nose to spite my face

Made my own odds 10,000 to one 

I saw the Empire slowly fade away

Tried to grasp it with my hand

Then I saw that it was not up to me

I'm just one tiny, tiny grain of sand 



Oh, sweet release, oh how you soothe me

When I let go, I love how you use me 



I have finally come to realise

It's something they're doing that they're doing that we find

A certain way that we can live our lives

And I'm takin' some peace of mind 



Oh, sweet release, oh how you soothe me

And when I let go, and when I let go

I love how you use me

I have finally come to realise

It's something they're doing that they're doing that we find

A certain way that we can live our lives

And I'm takin' some peace of mind 



I have finally come to realise, yes I have

Child don't do, child don't do what I have done

I cut my nose, I cut my nose to spite my face

I made my own odds 10,000 to one 



I cut my nose to spite my face

I made my own odds 10,000 to one

One more time 



I cut my nose, I cut my nose

I cut my nose to spite my face

I made my own odds 10,000 to one
