Lyrics

Everybody always wants to complain
About the problems they have that they can't explain
It's always someone else who's keeping them down
Something from the past they can't get around

They can't see fate is in their hands
They're all too busy making stupid demands
Never understand no one owes them a thing
They are already free to earn whatever they bring
CHORUS
So I always say you can take it or leave it
One thing for sure and you better believe it
When you come around you have the chance to retrieve it
Anything that you want is there if you seize it
It's all here so take it or leave it

The Sun is always shining up above the rain
If you wait a little while you will see it again
You might fight with friends but in the end
You will always recover if you make amends
CHORUS
So I always say You can take it or leave it
One thing for sure and you better believe it
When you come around you have the chance to retrieve it
Anything that you want is there if you seize it
It's all here so take it or leave it

Stand up for your rights but don't tread on mine
When you show up with a smile you're always on time
It's easy to get out and lighten your mood
You can't help yourself with some bad attitude

So fly your flag and do your thing
Share the wind in your sails it's all free
Forget the stories you see on TV
Take a look around it's just you and me

I always say You can take it or leave it
One thing for sure and you better believe it
When you come around you have the chance to retrieve it
Anything you want is there if you seize it
It's all here so take it or leave it

QUOTE: What a delightfully simple and elegant song. But don't let the airiness fool you. The message is right on time!
