You gotta do it all the way
And it's a struggle everyday

And it's a struggle everyday
Don't put them off for too long
You don't have to slide, life's not one big high
And it's a struggle everyday
You don't have to slide, life's not one big high
Breathe so easy
And it's a struggle everyday
And it's a struggle everyday
No work, all play, what a mistake
And work on yourself, don't run from the pain you've felt
Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky, get that melancholy feeling inside

You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
No work, all play, what a mistake
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You don't have to slide, life's not one big high
No work, all play, what a mistake

You don't have to slide, life's not one big high
And face my fate
The challenges well, they'll make you strong
To what's within
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And it's a struggle everyday
No one is perfect, no one's the same
You'd rather place the blame then point it your own way
Their temporary marks, not always from the heart
Sometimes it's hard lookin' at yourself
You gotta do it all the way

No work, all play, what a mistake
Stay on my case
You gotta do it all the way

And work on yourself, don't run from the pain you've felt
I still do hide from my feelings myself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
They live lightly

No digging in
We've all got problems that we haven't faced
Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky, get that melancholy feeling inside
Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky, get that melancholy feeling inside

And work on yourself, don't run from the pain you've felt

You gotta do it all the way
But I'm trying hard these days, not to procrastinate
Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky, get that melancholy feeling inside

You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
You gotta know yourself to be yourself
And work on yourself, don't run from the pain you've felt
And their tears fall but they don't sing
