Last week I heard this song and on the radio and it made me cry. It totally spoke to my heart about joining staff. I decided that it would be my "joining staff theme song"! I ordered the CD a few days later and it came on Thursday. It's awesome!!! The lyrics to this song seem kinda cliche when you just read them, but when you hear the song and the gospel choir, it's powerful!!! I remember in the days of old – doesn’t seem that long ago It was, “Jonny, you won’t be nothin’ unless you do what you’re told” “Study medicine or study law, but please put away that guitar” “The best you’ll be is a local star at the local bar.” But I went and did it anyway family helping all the way Now I’m here today 5 records later just so you can hear me say Don’t let ‘em tell you can’t be anything you wanna be Don’t be deceived – anything’s possible If you just believe, then you will succeed It might not be easy – but anything’s possible What if old Ben Franklin would've been frightened by lightning If he would've stayed inside then we'd still be in the dark. Martin Luther King did some beautiful things All because he had a dream just like you and me. Don’t let ‘em tell you can’t be anything you wanna be Don’t be deceived – anything’s possible If you just believe, then you will succeed It might not be easy Don't ya know there's gonna be sweat and some tears, some hard years Best believe there'll be hurt and some pain, expect some rain But you're gonna make it if you try To keep your eyes on the prize - you can take it Might have to work it, but it'll gonna be worth it Repeat Chorus |
