I tapered off for the summer Because the winter lasted far too long I found another way to live and I was wondering Do you understand where you went wrong? Well I won't let it break me I won't let it take me hostage I won't let them shape me Or criticize the shape that I'm in. No. I fell asleep and it was autumn I'll be ready for the spring by June The way we dance around the seasons It's as if we need a reason not to justify the things we do What's it gonna take? No, I can't relate to all this pettiness and people with petty thoughts. And it was setting in that I was settling But I won't let it break me I won't let it take me hostage I won't let them shape me Or criticize the shape that I'm in What's it gonna take to make this real? I'm telling grace To work its way Into my soul Make me whole Let it go Set a goal Take control Change the world. I won't let it break me I won't let it take me hostage I won't let them shape me Or criticize the shape that I'm in What's it gonna take to make this real? And to make you feel something more? What's it gonna take?
