You can do it, anything you want

You can do it if you try

You can make the world a better place

Don't try to hide



You can have it any way you want

Take your time to decide

Now I got a reason

I'm so glad



So you're feelin' down

Got no one around, oh, no

Wish you had that someone {To make you feel}

Every day you're glad to be alive



World just keeps on turnin'

Spinnin' 'round and 'round all the time

If you have a dream {Like Dr. King}

Don't let 'em drag you down, no



You can do it, anything you want

You can do it if you try

You can make the world a better place

Don't try to hide {Ho}



You can have it any way you want

Take your time to decide

Now I got a reason

I'm glad to be alive



One boy meets a girl {Woo, woo, uh}

Then they fall in love {The story goes}

They can change the world {Every day}

Everybody's glad to be alive



What's the use in tryin', oh

Look at all the people {With no brain}

Ain't no use in cryin', no {Ain't no way}

You can find a way, oh



You can do it, anything you want {Oh}

You can do it if you try (Oh, yeah)

You can make the world a better place {Make it better}

Don't try to hide (Yes, you can)



You can have it any way you want

Take your time to decide

Now I got a reason

I'm glad to be alive {Glad to be alive}



You can do it, anything you want

You can do it if you try (If you try)

You can make the world a better place

Don't try to hide



You can have it any way you want (Any way)

Take your time to decide {Ooh}

Now I got a reason

I'm glad to be alive {Glad to be alive}



Oh, oh, yeah {Oh, oh}

Shout about it, yeah

Shout about it, ooh

So glad to be alive

{Oh, oh} Oh, oh

Just to hear you sing this song



Yes, I'm glad to be alive

So glad to be alive

Oh, yes, I'm glad to be alive

So glad, a reason



You can do it {Yeah}, anything you want {Oh, oh}

You can do it if you try

You can make the world a better place

Don't try to hide { Don't try}



You can have it any way you want

Take your time to decide

Now I got a reason

I'm glad to be alive



Yes, I'm glad {Ooh} to be alive

{So glad} So glad (Shout it out, yeah)

Oh, yes, I'm glad {Oh} to be alive

Now I got a reason

I'm glad to be alive



Yes, I'm glad to be alive

So glad

Oh, yes, I'm glad to be alive

(Yeah) {Yeah} (Yeah) {Yeah}



Yes, I'm glad to be alive

So glad
