Take me to the desert
Leave me there to dry
In the sand under the sun
The cold moon shivering at night
If that is What It Takes
To make me feel alive
Even sadness helps me see the sun
When it eventually shines
When it shines
Drop me in the ocean
I'll find the shore or the depths
I'll swim some more or dunk my head
If there's absolutely nothing left
If that is What It Takes
To make me feel alive
Even sadness helps me see the sun
When it eventually shines
And the darkness helps me sleep at night
When the time is finally right
When it's right
Finally right
But I found me in the valley
With not much left to give
Until I stop it's just me and God
And a little will left to live
If that is What It Takes
To make me feel alive (What It Takes)
Even sadness helps me see the sun
When it eventually shines (What It Takes)
And the darkness helps me sleep at night
When the time is finally right (What It Takes)
It's finally right
If that is What It Takes
To make me feel alive
Even sadness helps me see the sun
When it eventually shines
And the darkness helps me sleep at night
When the time is finally right
It's finally right
It's finally right
