The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 fear
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
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, listen
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle you see
Is the sweeter the victory, girl
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
