It Takes You There
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.
What you are you can never erase
It's here til the end of time
What you lost you will never replace
Still you're trying to find...
You dont do it for god
You dont do it for love
You're back on the street because
It takes you there [x3]
What you have will never be enough
You will always want more
But lift me out, over one more night
All I want is what I was before
I dont do it for god
I dont do it for jesus
I'm back on the street because
It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there,
Oh
I had a dream
I know it seems so absurd
We all live in a house on a hill
Nobody has to say a word
I wake up
It's the middle of the night
The room is opening with love
I try to hold on to this golden light
But I fall hard from above
I don't do it for money
I don't do it for god
I'm back on the street because
It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there...
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
