Take Me Down
by Sidewalk Prophets

Album: Looking Up

Verse 1
I saw the news today, the war is at our door
It's always been there in my heart
The battle between grace and pride
Has always raged deep inside
It's hard to be a friend
When all you wanna be is right

Chorus
Take me down, won't You take me down?
Won't You take this crown off of my head?
Lift it up, won't You lift it up?
Won't You put it back on You again?
Back on You again

Verse 2
I tried to analyze the answers to this life
What divided You and me?
I can't seem to calculate the science of the heart
Love can't be proven easily

Chorus
Take me down, won't You take me down?
Won't You take this crown off of my head?
Lift it up, won't You lift it up?
Won't You put it back on You again?
Back on You again

Bridge
Oh, I've stolen all this time from You
Oh, I tried to steal Your thunder too
Oh, I reject the gift You freely give
Oh, I fulfill empty promises
I've taken riches that were Yours to justify my holy wars
I have spun a web of lies, all so I could criticize
I've kicked You out of my heart's throne
Then wondered why I was alone
So take me now and break me now
Embrace me now and take me down

Chorus
Take me down, won't You take me down?
Won't You take this crown off of my head?
Lift it up, won't You lift it up?
Won't You put it back on You again?

Outro
(Take me down, won't You) Take my selfishness?
(Take me down, won't You) Take my foolish pride?
(Take this crown off of my head?) Go on and lift it up
(Lift it up, won't You?) It was always Yours
(Lift it up, won't You?) It was never mine
Put it back on You again
Back on You again
