[00:20.25] Listen as your day unfolds
[00:23.18] Challenge what the future holds
[00:26.14] Try and keep your head up to the sky
[00:30.53] Lovers, they may cause you tears
[00:33.54] Go ahead release your fears
[00:36.20] Stand up and be counted
[00:38.19] Don't be ashamed to cry
[00:40.58] You Gotta Be
[00:42.02] You Gotta Be bad, You Gotta Be bold, You Gotta Be wiser
[00:46.53] You Gotta Be hard, You Gotta Be tough, You Gotta Be stronger
[00:52.12] You Gotta Be cool, You Gotta Be calm, you gotta stay together
[00:57.11] All I know, all I know
[00:59.09] Love will save the day
[01:01.31] Herald what your mother said
[01:04.33] Read the books your father read
[01:06.67] Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
[01:11.56] Some may have more cash than you
[01:14.33] Others take a different view

[01:37.44] All I know, all I know
[01:39.57] Love will save the day
[01:42.06] Time ask no questions, it goes on without you
[01:46.10] Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
[01:52.43] The world keeps on spinning
[01:55.09] Can't stop it, if you tried to
[01:57.58] The best part is danger staring you in the face
[02:04.17] 
[02:07.17] Remember listen as your day unfolds
