Lyrics
0:20Listen as your day unfoldes
0:23Challenge what the future holds
0:25Try and keep your head up to the sky
0:30Lovers' they may cause you tears
0:33Go ahead release your fears
0:35Stand up and be counted
0:38Don't be ashamed to cry
0:40You gotta be
0:41You gotta be bad' you gotta be bold
0:44You gotta be wiser' you gotta be hard
0:47You gotta be tough' you gotta be stronger
0:51You gotta be cool' you gotta be calm
0:54You gotta stay together
0:57All I know' all I know' love will save the day
1:01Herald what your mother said
1:04Readin' the books your father read
1:06Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
1:11Some may have more cash than you
1:14Others take a different view
1:16My oh my heh' hey
1:22You gotta be bad' you gotta be bold
1:24You gotta be wiser' you gotta be hard
1:28You gotta be tough' you gotta be stronger
1:32You gotta be cool' you gotta be calm
1:35You gotta stay together
1:37All I know' all I know' love will save the day
1:42Don't ask no questions' it goes on without you
1:47Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
1:52The world keeps on spinning
1:54You can't stop it' if you try to
1:57This time it's danger staring you in the face
2:04Oh oh oh
2:07Listen as your day unfoldes
2:10Challenge what the future holds
2:12Try and keep your head up to the sky
