Week 29 - Oh Yes You Can (07​-​19​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Sometimes good guys make mistakes
And kind hearted women have been known to have bad days
Best intentions don’t always turn out like they should
And real life ain’t much like Hollywood

So if you’re reaching for the stars
Just like fireflies lighting up a mason jar
Nothing beautiful will ever come too easily
But you got everything you need

Oh yes you can, oh yes you can
No one’s standing in your way
It’s your time now so baby go and get it
Stand up strong and let me hear you say

Oh yes you can, oh yes you can
You got everything you need and more
No you don’t have to wait any longer
Here comes everything you’re asking for
Oh yes you can

Look back now, don’t be afraid
At where you came from and where you are today
You got to fly so high there’s no need to turn around
Or ever come back down

Oh yes you can, oh yes you can
No one’s standing in your way
It’s your time now so baby go and get it
Stand up strong and let me hear you say

Oh yes you can, oh yes you can
You got everything you need and more
No you don’t have to wait any longer
Here comes everything you’re asking for
Oh yes you can

Keep it simple now, take it easy now
And the whole world welcomes you
Believe in learning how to rise above the clouds
All your dreams are coming true
