Lyrics
What it Takes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It takes a mountain of faith
River flowing pain
It takes a hammer on a nail
It takes a whole lotta love... yeah...
It takes a lifetime of working
A touch of understanding
It takes a wind in the sails
Little children singing... yeah...
It takes a sun burning knowledge
An ocean full of feeling
It takes a certain kind of hunger
