I tapered off for the summer

Because the winter lasted far too long

I found another way to live and I was wondering

Do you understand where you went wrong?

Well, I won’t let it break me

I won’t let it take me hostage

I won’t let them shape me

Or criticize the shape that I’m in, no

I fell asleep and it was autumn

I’ll be ready for the spring by June

The way we dance around the seasons

It’s as if we need a reason not to justify the things we do

What’s it gonna take?

No, I can’t relate

To all this pettiness and people with petty thoughts

And it was setting in that I was settling

But I won’t let it break me

I won’t let it take me hostage

I won’t let them shape me

Or criticize the shape that I’m in

What’s it gonna take to make this real?

I’m telling grace

To work its way

Into my soul

Make me whole

Let it go

Set a goal

Take control

Change the world

I won’t let it break me

I won’t let it take me hostage

I won’t let them shape me

Or criticize the shape that I’m in

What’s it gonna take to make this real?

And to make you feel something more?

What’s it gonna take?
