You Can Get It If You Really Want - Jimmy Cliff

You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try Try and try Try and try You'll succeed at last. Persecution you must fear Win or lose You got to get your share You've got your mind set on a dream You can get it though hard it may seem now. You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try Try and try Try and try You'll succeed at last. Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the harder the battle you see Is the sweeter The victory girl You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try Try and try Try and try You'll succeed at last.

The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that is'nt necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant Fall in love you won't regret it That"s the best work of all if you can get it Holding hands at midnight 'Neath the starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Scrolling with the one girl Sighing after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for more Loving one who loves you And taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if Won't you tell me how?

We are the true survivors, hanging on heaven's door We are the true love carriers, we got a lot in store We pay the price, we make the way Now there is no delay Here we come like the phoenix, through the traps and the tricks Arrival – arrival – arrival This is arrival I'm leaping like a capricorn, to the top of the rock Knowing love will keep us warm, there's nothing that we lack Like an ancient warrior, busting every barrier Here we are like the phoenix, through the traps and the tricks Arrival – arrival – arrival This is arrival Don't try to stop it, don't try to change it Don't try to stop it now (Break, Repeat) I can show you a miracle, make you light up a candle From the dust and the ashes, thunder and lightning flashes Arrival – arrival – arrival This is arrival (Repeat)
