If That’s What it Takes


      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 it’s 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
      That’s why I’ll be there

      When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
      Ev’ry beat of my heart, ev’ry day without end
      Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
      Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes
      If that’s what it takes

      You can sleep in my arms, you don’t have to explain
      When your heart’s crying out, baby, whisper my name
      ‘Cause I’ve reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
      You’ve given me your love
      When you smile like the sun that shines through the pain
      That’s why I’ll be there

      When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
      Ev’ry beat of my heart, ev’ry day without end
      I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break
      Till there’s no more to give, if that’s what it takes
      I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed
      I will lay down my life, if that’s what you need

      Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
      Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes

      Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
      When the fear rises up, when the wave’s ever higher
      I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
      I will hold on all night and never let go
      Ev’ry second I live, that’s the promise I make
      Baby, that’s what I’ll give, if that’s what it takes

      If that’s what it takes
      Every day
      If that’s what it take
      Every day
