Some things are gonna come easy
Some things are gonna be hard
But don't let them put you off your stride
Cos you could make your mark
You're gonna get married
You're gonna be rich
Your gonna have all the things you ever wished
You're gonna be the boss
You know you're gonna pull
You could be the saviour of this wicked world
Some times you gotta be smarter
You've got to play to win the game
Don't let them make you give up
Right before you can begin
Going to the moon
Win a peace prize
Discover there's life on the other side
You're gonna get slim
Make a new friend
You can do what ever you think you can
People are gonna wanna tell you
Don't try too much
They're gonna warn you
About disappointment but
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna tour the world
You're gonna write a book
You could be the one who finds life on Mars
You're gonna be happy
Listen to the voice
You can do it right
If you make that choice
To prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything
And you're gonna prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself
