[Verse 1]
And now it begins to shine
And you found the eyes to see
Each little drop at dawn of every day
Your smile, it comes back to me
And whatever you may say
Don't let it stop, never fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
As we got to get out in this world together
Then we might as well start to make some changes

[Chorus]
If that's what it takes
(That's what it takes)
Then I've got to be strong
(That's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
The closer I get
(That's what it takes)
Into that open door
(What it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes
[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
And now that it's shining through
And you can see all this world
Don't let it stop, never fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
If we got to be in this life forever
Then we'd better be taking all the chances

[Chorus]
If that's what it takes
(That's what it takes)
Then I've got to be strong
(That's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
The closer I get
(That's what it takes)
Into that open door
(What it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes

[Outro]
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
What it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, what it takes
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
