Take It Away - Norah Jones, Tarriona 'Tank' Ball

Take it away

Take it away from

Take it away from the people in the streets

Give it away

Give it away to

Give it away to the others that you meet

History becomes what we make it

Something doesn’t fit the bill, we’d fake it

If you really want something‚ you take it

Kindness becomes something we’ve shaken

For the people that have‚ don’t know what they’ve gained

Looking for sun‚ but it only rains

In the heat of the day, I washed it away

Gotta find a way to make it better

In the dead of the night, searching for fame

In the glitz and the light‚ the ugly remains

Looking for sun, but standing in rain

I find a way to make a real change

History will be what we make it

Something doesn’t fit the bill, we’re not gonna fake it

If we really need something we’ll have to take it

Honesty won’t be something we shake

Take it away

Take it away from

Take it away from the people in the streets

Give it away

Give it away to

Give it away to the others that you meet

For the people that have‚ don’t know what they’ve gained

Looking for sun, but it only rains

In the heat of the day, I washed it away

Gotta find a way to make it better

In the dead of the night, searching for fame

In the glitz and the light, the ugly remains

Looking for sun, but standing in rain

I find a way to make a real change

I can see the sun
