Take the Time

Take the time Take the time Take the time take the time take the time Take the time to remember who you are It might be hard to look back now that you've drifted so far Take the time to remember who you are You're not your clothes your apartment your accessories your car The world can bend and shake you, if you let it it unmakes you But just when it tries to take you there's a chance for you to break through Find what made you tick before someone else decided Find what it was that clicked before you got derided Are you happier now than when you were nine? Did you plot your own course or did you fall into line Did your wings melt every time you attempted to fly It won't work to drop your eyes and pretend there's no sky Take the time to remember who you are It can be difficult to see behind all of the scars Take the time to remember who you are You're not your student debt, your mortgage, or your pennies in a jar Devour all our assets, gorge on our liabilities And it seems that every day adds just a few more responsibilities Take the time Take the time Take the time Take the time Remember your old school at the top of the hill Wow it sure looks small if it's standing there still It's a gift when something remains to remember But don't our bones get cold every December Take the time Take the time Take the time Take the time Take the time to remember who you are Take the time to remember who you are Take the time to remember who you are Take the time to remember who you are
