Take Hold

Words and Music by Jim Cullen

Trying to find the words that start you off has got you troubled and upset

Searching for the answers to the questions that are buried in the sand

And when the pressure mounts and you loose control of who you are

You better take hold

Over night I’ve seen you change your colors and fly a different flag

Taking sides on neutral ground will toss you up and see just where you land

You try to figure out what is best for all concerned

What have you learned

You better take hold of the situation

Take hold don’t loose control

Take hold of the situation before it takes hold of you

Hearing things from other folks is second hand I wish you told me first

Simplify the remedy the basis of your plan is all you need

You try to figure out what is best for all concerned

What have you learned

You’ll find out

You better take hold of the situation

Take hold don’t loose control

Take hold of the situation before it takes hold of you

You try to figure out what is best for all concerned

What have you learned

You better take hold of the situation

Take hold don’t loose control

Take hold of the situation before it takes hold of you

Take hold

Take hold

Take hold of the situation before it takes hold of you
