"Gonna Take It"


Smile, your lovely smile
and tell me of tomorrows for awhile
in the hole, my hand
and tell me, tell me, tell me what, understand

i, know your name
and every no one else i trust now
bear this shame
so, so come on open up your hearts
and i will take it back to the beginning
i will

yes i am
gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start

gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start

yes i am weary, and i am torn
yeah
been fighting a war that started before,
since i was born
and now before it tears my heart
and never far
cause this is my rock nomination,
this is me



and she said, taste the spice
and just hang it up in the corner
where everything looks nice
and the same well used to be same
this is your help man, this is your wealth
and your long time dead

yes i am,
gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start

gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start

gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start

gonna take it
gonna take it
gonna take it, right back from the start.
