You Gotta Be

Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
Others take a different view, my oh my, heh, hey

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
The world keeps on spinning
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
Go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Reading the books your father read
Lovers, they may cause you tears
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
You gotta be

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you

This time it's danger staring you in the face

All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Lovers, they may cause you tears
You can't stop it, if you try to
Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
Some may have more cash than you
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser

Herald what your mother said
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
Go ahead release your fears, my oh my heh, hey, hey
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
