All It Would Take lyrics - Semisonic

There was a time when I believed

That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me

There was a time when I could see

A straightaway line for someone, somehow to wake me

But innocence gets paid in flames

And dreams of change waste on the vine

When all it would take is

One voice, one light, one hand

Writing the words of

One choice, one fire, one pen

Changing the world within me and around me

Changing the world within me and around me

That's all it would take

There was a time when I could fly

I'd open my mind and nothing was above me

I felt I could climb the mountains high

But then when I reached the summit, was it just me?

The darkest night in disbelief

And hope could fade or start to ignite

And all it would take is

One voice, one light, one hand

Writing the words of one choice, one fire, one pen

Changing the world within me and around me

Changing the world within me

Who would have known that's all it would take

Within me and around me

Changing the world within me

That's all it would take

There was a time when I believed

That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me
