Whatever it may take Don't let them bring you down From the cradle to the grave Keep your head above the ground Whatever it may take Refuse to be enslaved The only thought that should exist Whatever it may take Whatever it may take Whatever it may take Can't take it all the way Trying to destroy you Your birth is my decay Whatever it may take Don't capitulate Trust in no one's promises Whatever it may take Whatever it may take Somewhere there'll be Another chance you'll see It's there for you Whatever it may take If you would not exist I would be free!
