I learn what I know
|
But I was born this way
|
More of a number
|
And less of a name
|
I talk a little too quiet
|
And not enough they say
|
I only tell my secrets
|
When it's time to pray
|
|
You wouldn't see the war just lookin' from the outside
|
I've got red dirt blood here runnin on the inside
|
|
Sink or swim, live or die
|
A saving grace and a blue sky
|
All alone, and unafraid
|
It's never just another day
|
And you don't back down or walk away
|
But I know, I do, I am
|
What it takes
|
What it takes
|
|
Wash away my footprints
|
With the undertow
|
While I'll walk the wire, of the great unknown
|
I got two parts too
|
My storied soul
|
One stands with my brothers, one waits for me back at home
|
|
Sink or swim, live or die
|
A saving grace and a blue sky
|
All alone, and unafraid
|
It's never just another day
|
And you don't back down or walk away
|
But I know, I do, I am
|
What it takes
|
|
You wouldn't see the war just lookin' from the outside
|
I've got red dirt blood here runnin on the inside
|
|
Sink or swim, live or die
|
A saving grace and a blue sky
|
All alone, and unafraid
|
It's never just another day
|
And you don't back down or walk away
|
But I know, I do, I am
|
What it takes
|
Oh what it takes
|
What it takes
|

What It Takes
