Story Behind the Song
Using dream-like imagery, it's about letting go and letting the world do what it will. We strive so hard to achieve status and power in this life; what we fail to see is the way to take it all is to let go.
Lyrics
i see the future in blue
i sense the danger kept inside of you
up to the clouds i swim
under the milky-way
hold tight as the earth spins
and brings us once again to yesterday
when you take it, take it all
hold your head up, take it all
the world behind you, take it all
when you take it, take it all
a house divided in two
you gave the answers that you thought you knew
i breathe the water in
walking the ocean floor
time slows as i begin
and know i can't get back to how it was before
when you take it, take it all
hold your head up, take it all
the world behind you, take it all
when you take it, take it all
i hear that old call
it's time to cross the river
i'll climb on your back if you want me to
cause i trust the light in your eyes
when you take it, take it all
hold your head up, take it all
the world behind you, take it all
when you take it, take it all
