You Gotta Be

Hitting a low point one more time, crushed by what I cannot conquer or overcome, hoping against hope it just goes away and I make it through the day, I stumbled upon this song by Des'Ree. I like the lyrics so much and here they are; though I changed a couple of words to have it more meaningful to me.

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
People, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed 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, faith 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

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, faith will save the day

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face

Remember

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
People, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears

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, faith will save the day
