Take It Up Lyrics

I got an extra glimpse
Of the truth today
Staring at my breakfast
When I thought I heard it say

Fighting is no good
Success, an empty lie
The treasure hunt is lonely
Until you realize

We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to raise it up
We came to take it up, we came to move it up

I promise you miss
I will do my best today
But somebody keep trying to make me
Trying to make me lose my way

But I believe, oh, my darling
I believe in you
And I hope when you hear this
You'll remember what we were sent to do

We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to move it up
We came to raise it up, we came to praise it up

I came to take you up
You came to take me up
We came to take us up
Take me up, take me up

We came to take it up

Speeding out of the town
I thought I'd lost my way
'Til I saw the green and ebony
Come a-wondering about their pay

Well, I've got the money
If you've still got the friends
We can really put this world to right
Or sit and watch the end, you know

We gonna take it up
We gonna move it up
We gonna take it up
We gonna take it up

To the very, very top
To the very, very top
To the very, very, very, very, very, very top

To the very very top
To the very very top
To the very very top
