It Takes a Lot
It
takes a lot of heartache
Takes
a lot of pain
It
takes a whole lot of everything
When
a good heart beats
And
then goes down
That’s
the sound of angels
Coming
across town
It
takes a lot of cussing
Takes
a lot of prayers
It
takes a whole bunch of what we ain’t got here
Need
Grandma Mullaney
In
a dressing gown
And
the sound of angels
Coming
across town
It
takes a lot of noise
It
takes a lot of pain
It
takes bunch of fat old businessmen
Dressed
up and acting like saints
To
earn a little hospital money
Dressed
up like crazy clowns
That’s
the sound of angels
Coming
across town
It
takes a lot of sunshine
It
takes a lot of laughter
It
takes a whole lot of work
To
get what you’re after
And
prayers in the wind when that sun goes down
To
join the sound of angels
Coming
across town
