everybody knows you can take it or leave it

Everybody knows you can take it or leave it
I know when things don't seem so easy
it's time for a change,
might be best to walk down a brighter path
one that won't compute with math
but I will know it's right when dark turns to light
and the unknown become a little more known
when I feel I have choices
and I can take it or leave it, you can take it or leave it
I'm not just talking about love here
anything can flow or get stuck
and I know it's time to leave a place  if I'm in a rut
and I know it's time to see it through
if the challenge is one I need to stand up to
and everybody knows you can take it or leave it
everybody knows you can take it or leave it
my father said to push through
that I could do whatever I wanted to do
my mother said don't make life any harder
than it is,  to choose a path that fits
and I say I'm gonna try whatever my heart desires
and I know I can take it or leave it
when things don't go my way
and I know I can take it or leave it
if I feel overwhelmed most days
and I know I can take it or leave it
if the love goes away
and I know I can take it or leave it
and work towards better days
everybody knows you can take it or leave it
and follow all your dreams
everybody knows you can take it or leave it
as we all look for more love, more peace.
