YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT WITH YOU

Don't put yourself down, pick yourself up
That's all you've got when the time is done
All of your potential
waits inside your mind for the key
You have to take it with you,
might as well be free
to decide your life

You have to take it with you when you go
You're only in this world to show
Dump the excess baggage, just let go

Don't weigh yourself down on the negative side
So much more to gain from a positive line
Spinning out the truth that you believe
inside your mind
You have to take it with you
every moment you decide
What you're gonna keep and what you leave behind

You have to take it with you when you go
You're only in this world to show
Dump the excess baggage, just let go
