Lyrics

I?ll take a picture, I?ll take a letter
I?ll take a powder, take a number
I?ll take a shortcut, take a detour, take the long way there
I?ll take a pass, take my time, but take good care
I?ll take a look, take some lessons, take a hint, take some guesses
And take a chance at winning in this game called life

I?ll write a novel, I?ll write a song
I?ll write a check, right a wrong
I?ll write an email, or a memo, or a steamy love note
I?ll sit right down and write my write-in vote
I?ll write a chapter of my own autobiography
And write my own ending to the story

You see I?m gonna take some action, be in control
And make my own decisions, never sell my soul
Won?t wait for life to tell me what to do or who to be
I?m gonna be in charge of my own history

I?ll make a cake, I?ll make a wish
Make up my mind, make a list
I?ll make it up to somebody, make it stop, make it go
And make myself heard, make it happen, make it so
I?ll make a statement, make my mark, make a point to know
And make up all the rules as I go

I?ll get a grip, I?ll get the joke
I?ll get a life, get up and go
I?ll get away, get inspired, get a good night?s sleep
Get myself up and get back on my feet
I?ll get a handle on it all, and get my dues
And get myself together and get rid of these blues

You see I?m gonna take some action, be in control
And make my own decisions, never sell my soul
Won?t wait for life to tell me what to do or who to be
I?m gonna be in charge of my own history

I?ll find the time, I?ll find a way
And I?ll find those keys that I lost yesterday
I?ll find some peace and quiet, and I?ll find myself
And find that old book I left there on that shelf
I?ll find the map, find the road, find the meaning of life
Find true happiness, find what?s right

You see I?m gonna take some action, be in control
And make my own decisions, never sell my soul
Won?t wait for life to tell me what to do or who to be
I?m gonna be in charge of my own history
