Des'ree - Got To Be Strong Lyrics

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be shamed 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, hey, hey, hey

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

Time asks 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 it if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face, oh

Remember listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky

Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my, hey, hey, hey

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, yeah, yeah, yeah

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, yeah, yeah

Got to be bold, got to be bad
Got to be wise, no one ever sad
Got to be hard, not too, too hard
All I know is, love will save the day

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
Yeah, yeah, hey, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
