What's It Gonna Take Lyrics

Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around
Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around

Night falls on a hard day
But that new dawn was far from calm
I heard a gun shot and a car alarm
Stolen shackles on my heart and palms
No keys, free the old me
From that cold dream that they sold me
No sleep, got a restless mind
Lookin' out the blinds for them police
Got cold feet from the hot flames
That I walked across to get where I'm at
Spirit broken you can hear it crack
Smoke clears I appear in black
Family hungry got mouths to feed
But there's no fear, better handle that
I know two wrongs don't make you right
But the rents due, understand the math
Fascinated with the fast life
I made a lot of cash just last night
I woke up in a cold sweat
Flashin' lights and a crash site
I see my family trapped in a wreck I caused
Tryna make it out of my violent storm
Angels cry as my mama sings
Get 'em Lord then the widow mourns
Uh, I hear you loud and clear

Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around
Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around

Don't you know what price has been paid
So you can live a life free of pain
Givin' all your troubles to God above
Who gave you everything
Don't you know you have a power within'
And don't you know you've been set free from your sin
Don't you know what's gotta be
You gotta surrender to the one and only God

Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around
Let the sea rise up, let the earth cave in
Let the sky fall down
What's it gonna take, what's it gonna take
For you to come around
Come around, oh
Ooh, ohh, come around
