Refrain:
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. 

Persecution you must bear, 
win or lose, you got to get your share, 
You've got your mind set on a dream, 
you can get it, though hard it may seem, now. 

Refrain

I 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.
