Whatever Happens Lyrics

He gives a nervous smile, tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She can't stay in the room
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on
She says

[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Everything will be alright, he assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says
Preoccupied, she's afraid
Afraid that what they're doing is not right
He doesn't know what to say, so he prays
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus: x2]

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy
Forgetting all the dreams that he had
He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world
It doesn't have to be that bad
She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus: x3]

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

[Chorus: x2]

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Thank you, man!

Thank you, Carlos!

HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT YOU HAVE TO DO SOOOO MUCH TO MAKE THE OTHER PERSON HAPPY, THAT YOU MUST SOLVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS. hOWEVER YOU only realize when it is too late that sometimes there are things that you can not have absolute control over, things that you can try to make better, but you don't have to take care of the world. Sometimes just RELAX and learn that being with one another is what can make the other person happy. SOmetimes we search too hard and make thing too tough.

I love this song. It is definitely my favorite song on Invincible. The instrumentation and Carlos Santana adds a nice touch to it as well.
