Lyrics
THE TIMES I WASTED WAS A TRAMPOLINE
OF CHANCES BOUNCING PASSED MY EYES
TO BE A PILOT WAS A FAR FETCHED DREAM
UNTIL MY FATHER MADE ME TRY
HE SAID
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
SO DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU
' CEPT YOU DON'T TRY
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE PAID TO FLY
AND GREET THE BIRDS IN THEIR DOMAIN
MY FATHER LOOKED AT ME WITH TEARS OF PRIDE
REMINDED ME HOW FAR I CAME
HE SAID
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
SO DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU
' CEPT YOU DON'T TRY
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
I'VE CLIMBED MORE LADDERS TO SUCCESS
BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS GAVE MY BEST
ALTHOUGH MY FATHER PASSED AWAY
HIS SPIRIT GUIDES ME TO THIS DAY
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
SO DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU
' CEPT YOU DON'T TRY
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
SO BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE
