YOU GOTTA
YOU GOTTA
(T. Beechey)
There are certain things you gotta do
Things that bring me closer to you
And you closer to me and us closer to them
Till humanity shines like a brand new gem
You gotta reach for that ring,make a new path
embrace everything,let go of the wrath
sing a new song,show off that smile
hold those times a long,long,long,long while
laugh till those tears flow down like wat-tah ---
no more wastin' years...you gotta!
Sometimes it's not easy and seems quite a task
That's when you say "Please" to your neighbor and ask
If he or she'll show which way is best
And before you know it,you'll be passin' the test
You gotta go for the gold,make your mark
break the mold,transform a spark
into a flame that roars and burns
shout out your name so everyone learns
just who you are and who you're not-tah ---
wish upon that star...you gotta!
I was once filled with scorn and disdain
Wonderin' why I was born and always in pain
Then I wiped off the mirror and looked in the glass
And it all became clearer and came to pass
You gotta turn all that hate into pure love
don't even hesitate to look up above
lift your head high and always be true
never,ever ask why and always just do
turn up that flame hott-ah and hottah ---
and drink from that cup...you gotta!
So,listen to me and take my advice
You will not be goin' 'round this world twice
Fling open that door and march outside
Don't look back no more and enjoy the ride!
You gotta hold onto that hand,set a caged heart free
carry out what you've planned to the furthest degree
give hope and healing,tell someone you care
give birth to a feeling the whole world can share
right now's your chance,take your best shot-tah ---
this is no time for "can'ts"...you gotta!
