(Jimmy Cliff)



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 - mmh



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



from 'The Harder They Come' (soundtrack, 1972)

hit version performed by 'Desmond Dekker' (1970)
