You Gotta Be (Iara Negrete)

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what you're future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may ‘cause your tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted, don't be shame to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my
Time ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning, can't stop if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what your future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may ‘cause your tears
Go ahead, release your fears
My oh my
