You Can


You Can By: Alexandria Brooks When somebody tries to Knock you down Or tries to tell you You’re not good enough If they try to make you feel small Or tell you that You can’t accomplish anything at all Don’t believe a word they say Just turn and walk away And remember you can You can fight Through anything You can follow your dreams You can be the champion Whenever people knock you down Walk away and turn around And remember you can Every tear that you’ve shed All those nights And every hurt you’ve felt Deep down inside has been Making you stronger each day Even though All you’ve felt is the pain Don’t buy into the lies Just know you can do anything Your heart desires And remember you can Everyone is unique In their own way Cause God made No one the same Don’t let anyone Get in the way of your dreams Can’t you see that- You can fight Through anything You can follow your dreams You can be the champion Whenever people knock you down Walk away and turn around And remember- You can
