"What Would You Take" lyrics

What would you take if you only had ten minutes
Knowing everything you left behind would surely wash away?
If you only had one suitcase, what would you pack in it?
Of all of your possessions, man, what would you save?
Would it be your money or jewelry or some picture on the wall?
If it really came down to it, what matters most of all?

The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from
Dust into dust, fear into faith
There'll be hope for us
If love is what we take

What would you take in the middle of the night
If you felt the fire raging knowing you were out of time?
I know you'd run to your children, the ones who need your love
Praying, "God just get us out of here, and we'll know we have enough"
Each other, together, that's all we really need
Come whatever as long as we believe

The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from
Dust into dust, fear into faith
There'll be hope for us
If love is what we take

If love is what we take

Try to remember to ask myself this question
Every morning when I wake up
Find the glory in the blessings
My day's a little better, the sun shines a little brighter
And the burdens that I carry seem to be a little lighter
And I know what I'd take if I only had ten minutes
It'd be all the love that we make, and I'd put my whole heart in it

The wind is gonna blow, the rain is gonna come
And every soul is gonna go back to the light where it came from
Dust into dust, fear into faith
There'll be hope for us
If love is what we take
If love is what we take
