Prove Yourself

Joan Armatrading

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 savior of this wicked world

Some times you gotta be smarter
You've got to play to win the game
But 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 get 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

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 can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself

You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself

You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself
You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself

You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
