Song Title: YOU GOTTA BE

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 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 stronger

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 puzzle in your own sweet time

Some may have mare cash than you

Others take a different view

My oh my heh, 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 be stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you

Living you behind if you can't stand the pace

the world keep on spinning

You can't stop it, if you try to

This time it's danger staring you in the face

Song title: I WILL SURVIVE


First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
With you by my side


But I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on 
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked out to find you here
so that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
i should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me


Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
