TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
By Wayne Burt & Jane Saunders
(Mushroom/Rondor)

There's a certain feeling when worlds they do collide
When the spirit moves and takes you for a ride
You feel the pieces all fall into place
Like an endless game that we play in time and space
We can make this dream come true
I want to make it real with you

Take my hand
Come and take it like a man
Be the one to understand
Come take it like a man

When a chilly wind comes blowin' down my street
Shaking my foundations from my head down to my feet
You know it's easy to believe that nothing's here to stay
And in the end all you get to keep is what you give away
So I give my world to you
A new day is coming into view

Take my hand
Come and take it like a man
Be the one to understand
Come take it like a man

Oh I don't give myself so easily
And I've known the taste of bitter rain
But I can see the sun is shining through your eyes
I believe you'll help me find my way

I've heard it said some things are meant to be
It's written in the stars for all eternity
If you take my hand we can make it right
We can lay together in the cradle of the night
If that cold wind ever calls
Will you catch me before I fall

Take my hand
Come and take it like a man
Be the one to understand
Come take it like a man
