 Go ahead, release your fears
 Stand up and be counted, 'cause you wanna let you try
 You gotta be, you gotta be bad
 You gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
 You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
 You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, gotta keep it together
 All I know, all I know, love will save the day

 Time asks no questions, it goes on without you (without you)
 Leaving you behind, if you can't stand a pace (can't stand a pace)
 The world keeps on spinning, can't stop it if you try to
 The best part is dangerous, staring you in the face
 You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
 You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
 You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, gotta keep it together
