Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is sunshine there is rain
Even in love there is pain
Only God can stay the same
In everything else there is change
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Just let it go
Let if flow
Just let it go
Well come on take my hand
We're going to the promise land
Cuz only the foolish
Try to do it on their own
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Even when you find you're swimming in the river
There's gonna be an undertow
Just let it go
Let if flow
Just let it go
Just let it go
Let if flow




Just let it go
Just let it go

Overall Meaning

In this song, Simon talks about the inevitability of change and struggle in life, specifically in the realm of love. The lines "There is sunshine there is rain, even in love there is pain" illustrate this point, recognizing that even when things are going well, there will always be difficult moments. He then goes on to say that only God can remain constant, implying that everything else is subject to change. The repeated line "Even when you find you're swimming in the river, there's gonna be an undertow" drives this point home, emphasizing that we must be prepared for difficult times even when things seem to be going smoothly.


However, the song offers a solution to this struggle. Simon encourages us to let go and let things flow, rather than trying to fight against the undertow. He also offers the idea of coming together and taking each other's hands, symbolizing that we are not alone in our struggles and can rely on others for support.


Overall, the song is a reminder to embrace the difficult moments in life as a necessary part of the journey and to let go of the desire for total control.
