What Does It Take?
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.
I stood, you stayed in your chair
You didn't get it, you even looked put out
But I had no doubt
You'd see the change and someday do the same
That was quite a while ago
The days are getting shorter
They're expecting record lows
If you could hear me pray tonight
Would you be angry or surprised
To hear your name announced
Followed by a pause or even tears
Like I've done for all these years
The days are getting shorter
I suspect it's gonna snow
What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
What does it take to make you see
The pain it's causing me?
Why can't you see?
The days are getting shorter
But I won't surrender hope
What does it take to make you see
The love I have in me
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe
Is there stone I've left unturned?
Is there some way I've not explored?
What does it take to shake your world?
To turn you to my Lord?
