Sarah Harmer - Took It All lyrics

rate me

You said I could have it all

You said it to me

With your eyes so wide, excited

I stop to see what you mean

In the drone of afternoon traffic

On a slope that's slippery

In the relative fear, invited

That keeps us company

We took it all

Without taking it away

We shook it

It didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clear to me

These hands are holding a kite of worry

That floats high and circles a pivot of fear

In the wind are the words that say "There's no time! Hurry!"

So we grab what we can

We think The End is near

We took it all

Without taking it away

We shook it

It didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clear

We can get back up

We can move from this ground

To where there is enough of everything

What has opened up this crevice at our feet

Has created a new sense of urgency

Without taking it away

We shook it

It didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clear
