Lyrics WHATEVER IT TAKES
I've been half asleep Living in a world of broken dreams Lined with plastic trees Still I keep going there to hide
Take me as I am I know you've got a plan Please help me to understand That we were made for so much more than this
Chorus: Can't you hear my heart is pounding in my chest Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes Gonna give you all I have, and then the rest Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes
Half a world away Can't get through another day He's forgotten how to pray He doesn't know that he was made, for so much more than this
Chorus: Can't you hear my heart is pounding in my chest Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes Gonna give you all I have, and then the rest Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes, Whatever It Takes
Bridge: And when I want to run and hide, I find I can take more.....

He was our producer on the track and he also plays bass for DISTURBED and most recently ADRENALINE MOB (with Mike Portnoy, Russell Allen and Mike Orlando). These guys are all legen
