It Takes A Lot

It takes a lot of work just to be the woman that you are,
It takes a lot of work just to be the man that you are.
Everyday you’re striving and you’ve made it now thus far,
It takes a lot of work just to be the being that you are.

It takes a lot of love just to share the woman that you are,
It takes a lot of love just to share the man that you are.
Many said you wouldn’t make it, you can prove it with your scars,
It takes a lot of love just to share the person that you are.

It takes a lot of courage just to bare the woman that you are,
It takes a lot of courage just to bare the man that you are.
Out of bed and off the couch to greet the world and raise the bar,
It takes a lot of courage just to bare the soul that you are.

It takes a lot of strength just to face the woman you’ve become,
It takes a lot of strength just to face the man that you’ve become.
Now with every step you take to understand truth one by one,
It takes a lot of strength just to live the light that you’ve become.

It takes a lot in each moment to grasp the woman that you are,
It takes a lot in each moment to grasp the man that you are.
In every moment, every second, in every bright and shining star,
Remember how incredible deep down inside you truly are,
& If you need me to remind you I am never very far.
