LYRICS

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 succed 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 it though hard it may seem

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want, yeah
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last - don't you know it

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle, you see
Is the sweeter the victory

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 succed at last
