Acoustic ballad requested for recording and release by my trusted Live Stream audience, What It Takes examines how our attitudes and perspectives shape our mental and emotional states.

lyrics

You take it all so hard
When The Devil comes to your backyard
You throw your hands up
But he always catches you off guard
He’ll never steal your heart

So do what it takes
Whatever it takes to light up the darkest days
We’ll do what it takes
We got what it takes to go on

You waited for so long
For your day of destiny to come
You let the years roll on
Now to just keep up you gotta run
The chase is half the fun

So do what it takes
Whatever it takes
To light up the darkest days
We’ll do what it takes
We got what it takes to go on

We’ll do what it takes
Whatever it takes
We don’t harbour our mistakes
We’ll do what it takes
We got what it takes to go on

In the night the day will break
There’ll be chances you must take
He’ll be there to hold the reins
Nothing ventured nothing gained

So do what it takes
Whatever it takes
To light up the darkest days
We’ll do what it takes
We got what it takes to go on

We’ll do what it takes
Whatever it takes
We don’t harbour our mistakes
We’ll do what it takes
We got what it takes to go on
