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 ashamed 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
Reading 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, Yeah-Aye-Aye

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
This part is danger staring you in the face, Whoa-Oh

Remember 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
My Oh My, Yeah-Aye-Aye

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, do what others say
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

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
This song is from the album "I Ain't Movin'" and "Endangered Species".
