What It Takes

(Phil Galdston, Jean-Jacques Goldman)

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls

You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home

You can say its all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside

I see it in your eyes

Even you face the night afraid and alone

Thats why Ill be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend

Every beat of my heart, evry day without end

Every second I live, thats the promise I make

Baby, thats what Ill give, if thats what it takes

If thats what it takes

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain

When your hearts crying out, baby, whisper my name

Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above

Youve given me your love

When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain

Thats why Ill be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend

Every beat of my heart, every day without end

I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break

Till theres no more to give, if thats what it takes

I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed

I will lay down my life, if thats what you need

Every second I live, thats the promise I make

Baby, thats what Ill give, if thats what it takes

Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire

When the fear rises up, when the waves ever higher

I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul

I will hold on all night and never let go

Every second I live, thats the promise I make

Baby, thats what Ill give, if thats what it takes

If thats what it takes

Every day

If thats what it takes
