Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

There's a little sparrow trying to move a mountain stone

Everybody tells him it's a job he can't do alone

But he's got big dreams, yes he's got big dreams

He's got dreams that reach up past the clouds and streams

[chorus]

So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand

Think about that sparrow with the mountain stone in hand

When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall

There's a lesson here for one and all

[verse]

There's a little turtle trying to race a rabbit's speed

Everybody laughs and says he'll never take the lead

But he's got big dreams, yes he's got big dreams

He's got dreams that climb up past the highest peaks

[chorus]

So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand

Think about that turtle with the finish line at hand

When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall

There's a lesson here for one and all

[bridge]

Every mountain looks impossible until it's climbed

Every mile looks endless until you've walked the line

Keep your dreams up high and just keep moving on

[chorus]

So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand

Think about that sparrow with the mountain stone in hand

When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall

There's a lesson here for one and all

[verse]
There's a little sparrow trying to move a mountain stone
Everybody tells him it's a job he can't do alone
But he's got big dreams, yes he's got big dreams
He's got dreams that reach up past the clouds and streams

[chorus]
So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand
Think about that sparrow with the mountain stone in hand
When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall
There's a lesson here for one and all

[verse]
There's a little turtle trying to race a rabbit's speed
Everybody laughs and says he'll never take the lead
But he's got big dreams, yes he's got big dreams
He's got dreams that climb up past the highest peaks

[chorus]
So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand
Think about that turtle with the finish line at hand
When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall
There's a lesson here for one and all

[bridge]
Every mountain looks impossible until it's climbed
Every mile looks endless until you've walked the line
Keep your dreams up high and just keep moving on

[chorus]
So whenever you're feeling low instead of feeling grand
Think about that sparrow with the mountain stone in hand
When your troubles pile up and your back's against the wall
There's a lesson here for one and all
