Lyrics of You Can Get It If You Really Want by Jimmy Cliff
chorus
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
verse
Look here
Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder they seem now
chorus
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
I know it, listen
verse
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It's the sweeter the victory, now
chorus
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
chorus
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
outro
(You can get it if you really want) I know it
(You can get it if you really want) don't I show it?
(You can get it if you really want) so don't give up now
(You can get it if you really want) but keep on trying
Writer(s): Jimmy Cliff
