Take Time
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.
Take time, to get away
Free your mind, and fly away
Take time to get away
Free your mind, and fly away
Ooh, sometime the days get so long
A cup of coffee just to keep you strong
In rush hour and you're late,
There's nothing to do, but sit and wait
So many things are on your mind, yeah
The start of your day, keeps passing you by,
Oh you wanna fun place to escape,
It's your life, you gotta do whatever it takes, yeah
Take some time, to, free your mind, oh yeah
Ooh, oh oooh yeah
Sometime the days get so long, long,
Though sometime it seems, everything is wrong, yeah
Endless hours, you're working so hard, yeah
In your fancy suit, exchanging business cards
So much pressure, need to run and hide, yeah
Get tired of the days, passing you by, ooh,
You wanna find a place to escape, it's your life
You gotta do whatever it takes, yeah
Take some time, to get away
Free your mind, and fly away, oh yeah
Everything's gonna be alright when you do it yeah,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Take time, let go, let go
Take time, yeah, it's alright, take time, take time
Yeah yea, take a minute breathe yeah, just let go and
Leave it there, you gotta breathe a minute, take a minute
Breathe a minute, yeah, yeah, yeah, just relax and let it
Go, it's alright if you should know, breathe a minute, take
A minute, breathe a minute, ooh yeah, take a minute, breathe
A minute, take a minute, come on, oh come on, take a minute,
Breathe a minute, take some time, and love yourself!!
(scat)
Take your time, to get away, yeah
Free your mind and fly away, just get away
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna work out fine, when
You do it, when you do it, yeah
Take time (scat) oh yeah, yeah yeah (scat)
