Guardian Album: Bottle Rocket Track: What Does It Take?
What Does It Take? Lyrics
Music by Jamie Rowe Words by Steve Taylor and Jamie Rowe
I stood up 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 awhile 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 inside of me? What does it take to make you see The truth that I believe? Is there a stone I've left unturned? Is there a way I've not explored? What does it take to shake your world? To turn you to my Lord?
