[Verse 1]
I been looking past the hurt
Through the window in my mind
Where the heavy days can't touch me
And the sun don't run out of time
I can hear my mama calling
Like a prayer in the hallway
Saying baby keep on walking
Better days know my name
[Pre-Chorus]
If I cross that line tonight
Would you meet me in the light?
All that weight I carried home
Could fall off and leave me whole
[Chorus]
Take me there, take me there
Past the tears and the fear
Take me there, take me there
Where my heart can reappear
Blue to gold, pain to glow
That's the road I wanna know
Take me there, take me there
To the place my soul can grow
[Verse 2]
I've been folded into silence
By the bruises of the week
But I still got a little fire
And it rises when I sing
Every scar is just a map line
Every loss a door I passed
If I keep my eyes on promise
Then the dark won't ever last
[Pre-Chorus]
If I cross that line tonight
Would you meet me in the light?
All that weight I carried home
Could fall off and leave me whole
[Chorus]
Take me there, take me there
Past the tears and the fear
Take me there, take me there
Where my heart can reappear
Blue to gold, pain to glow
That's the road I wanna know
Take me there, take me there
To the place my soul can grow
[Bridge]
I don't need a perfect heaven
Just a morning I can trust
With my name laid down in softness
And my hands not full of dust
If I reach it, I'll be singing
With the kind of joy that stays
And the girl I was before this
Will be smiling through the waves
[Final Chorus]
Take me there, take me there
Past the tears and the fear
Take me there, take me there
Where my heart can reappear
Blue to gold, pain to glow
That's the road I wanna know
Take me there, take me there
To the place my soul can grow
Take me there, take me there
(oh, take me there)
Take me there, take me there
(to the place my soul can grow)
