Desmond Dekker - 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, mmmm, yeah.
Persecution you must fear,
Win or lose the battle, 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. Don't you know it?
Listen.
Rome was not built in a day,
Opposition will come your way.
But the harder the battle, you see,
It's the sweeter the victory, 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.
(..)
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.
Don't you know it? Don't I show it..
