it takes a crane to build a crane
it takes two floors to make a story
it takes an egg to make a hen
it takes a hen to make an egg
there is no end to what i'm saying

it takes a thought to make a word
and it takes a word to make an action
it takes some work to make it work
it takes some good to make it hurt
it takes some bad for satisfaction

la la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
al la la la la

it takes a night to make it dawn
and it takes a day to you yawn brother
it takes a mood to make you young
it takes some cold to know the sun
it takes the one to have the other

it takes no time to fall in love
but it takes you years to know what love is
it takes some tears to make you trust
it takes some years to make it rust
it takes some dust to make it polished
[ *from http://www.index-of-mp3s.com/lyric/jason-mraz/what-it-takes.html ]

ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is so full of
ah la la la la la la life is so rough
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is our love
ah la la la la la

it takes some silence to make sound
it takes a loss before you found it
it takes a road to go nowhere
it takes a toll to know you care
it takes a hole to make a mountain

ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is oh love
ah la la la la la la love is all sorts of
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is holla holla
ah la la la la la la next up bushwalla-walla
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la
