You Can Get It If You Really Want It - Desmond Dekker

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’ve got to get your share

You’ve got your mind set on a dream

You can get it, though harder it may seem now

You can get it if you really want

You can get it if you really want, yeah

You can get it if you really want

But you must try, try and try, try and try

You’ll succeed at last, don’t you know it, listen

Rome was not built in a day

Opposition will come your way

But the hotter the battle you see

Is the sweeter the victory, now

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

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, don’t you know it

Though I show it, please, don’t you know it
