"Take It Up" lyrics

"Take It Up"

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 realise

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 keeps 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 [?]
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 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 it 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
Ooh...
