Lyrics for Take A Song by Longdancer from the album Trailer For A Good Life

You take a song try to sing it right
And though you try it does not quite belong to you
And very soon you’ve forgotten why you tried

Take a look at life the same way now
You do your best and still somehow the things
You planned so very well must always be denied

Take the love you had that meant so much
It slipped away and failed to touch that part of you
That comes between your feelings and your pride

But it’s alright if love is a part
Of the life that you lead
It’s alright if the role that you play
Is the role that you need
And it’s all right if the way that you’ve been
Is the way that has seemed to be all right.

You thought, maybe, the time would last
But friends around said you were cast in a role
That you would find hard to bear
Once the love within has died.

So take a song and sing it right
And though you cry, one day it might belong to you
And very soon you’ve forgotten why you cried

But it’s alright if love is a part
Of the life that you lead
It’s alright if the role that you play
Is the role that you need
And it’s alright cos the way that you’ve been
Is the way that has seemed to be alright
It’s Alright
