For The Taking

(Joe D'Urso)

The sting of the high school dance
The holiness of a midnight mass
Valentines that never came
The sound of the summer night's rain

Driving with your sister in her car
Trying to sneak in to the old man bar
Finding new music turned you upside down
Learning that love is all around

Holding onto dreams thru static noise
Trying to make a living, spread some joy
Spending time with kids of your making
Loving life and know it's for the taking

Feeling foolish at the right time
Learn to tell the truth from all the lies
Hope to find the questions to the answers of life
I hope you find a husband, I hope you find a wife

Understand that words cut deeper than knives
Knowing that I'm sorry are the best words used in life
Never give up dreaming to fly like a bird
Know that silence can be the strongest word

Holding onto dreams thru static noise
Trying to make a living, spread some joy
Spending time with kids of your making
Loving life and know it's for the taking
For the taking, for the taking, for the taking...
