    you can get it if you really want,

C                                   F

    you can get it if you really want,

1.  Persecution you must bear,

C             G                      F

    win or lose, you got to get your share,

Em                            F

    got your mind set on a dream,

 G                                    G7

    you can get it, though hard it may seem, now.

2.   Rome was not built in a day,

C          G              F

    opposition will come your way,

Em                              F

    but the harder the battle you see,

G                                 G7

    it's the sweeter the victory, now.  

 

+ CHORUS (2x)
