For the Taking - Fem.pm

When sorrows seem to find you day after day You leave a dream behind you every step you take Well sometimes there is not an answer for the heartache we feel. Sometimes we have to shatter, before we can heal. When there are no words And everything hurts This moment is in the making So keep walking that line Another step and you'll find. This life is for the taking, So take it now. Been a long and lonesome winter, with the curtains drawn. The distraction of our struggle drowns out the cause. But the sun shines warmer, when you are chilled to the bone. The welcome is so much sweeter when the prodigal comes home. When there are no words And everything hurts This moment is in the making So keep walking that line Another step and you'll find. This life is for the taking, So take it now. Take it now. Take, take, take it honey. Soon we are going to look back to see what remains When trouble is behind us and everything has changed.
