Текст песни A Lot - Brother Jim

It takes a lot
It takes a lot
It takes a lot to live this life
Got to be hard as a stone and sharp as a knife
It takes a lot to live this life

Time gets lonely, especially at night
Been getting stoney on stormy nights
Feels like I'm slowly losing my mind
Dealing with strife too hard to fight

Had my heart taken for granted
I was so down I swore this world was slanted
Drugs and heartbreak left my soul stranded
Never let it go though, even when the devil demanded

Never deserved merciful blessings
Trying to overcome personal stresses
From this world's uncontrollable messes
Though trials by fire teaching life's lessons

It takes a lot
It takes a lot
It takes a lot to live this life
Got to be hard as a stone and sharp as a knife
It takes a lot to live this life

Time gets lonely, especially at night
Been getting stoney on stormy nights
Feels like I'm slowly losing my mind
Dealing with strife too hard to fight

Had my heart taken for granted
I was so down I swore this world was slanted
Drugs and heartbreak left my soul stranded
Never let it go though, even when the devil demanded

Never deserved merciful blessings
Trying to overcome all my personal stresses
From this world's uncontrollable messes
Through trials by fire, teaching life's lessons

It takes a lot
It takes a lot
It takes a lot to live this life
Got to be hard as a stone and sharp as a knife
It takes a lot to live this life
