You Gotta Be...

[Verse 1] You gotta be smart You gotta be dumb You gotta be together And also alone You gotta be healthy You gotta be ill You gotta be whatever Whatever you will [Prechorus] Oh it's not hard To have it all [Chorus] They told me That it couldn't be done I told them I said I'm the one That'll show you how it's done [Verse 2] You gotta be old You gotta be young You gotta be a woman And also a man You gotta be happy You gotta be sad You gotta be whatever Whatever you have [Prechorus] Oh it's not hard To have it all [Chorus] They told me That it couldn't be done I told them I said I'm the one That'll show you how it's done [Verse 3] You gotta be strong You gotta be weak You gotta be silent And still, you speak You gotta be restless You gotta be calm You gotta be something In the face of the storm [Prechorus] Oh it's not hard To have it all [Chorus] They told me That it couldn't be done I told them I said I'm the one That'll show you how it's done [Verse 4] You gotta be fast You gotta be slow You gotta be certain And never know You gotta be broken You gotta be whole You gotta be all the fragments Hidden in your soul [Prechorus] Oh it's not hard To have it all [Chorus] They told me That it couldn't be done I told them I said I'm the one That'll show you how it's done [Verse 5] You gotta be wild You gotta be tame You gotta be different Yet the same You gotta be dreaming But awake too You gotta be all these things Inside of you [Prechorus] Oh it's not hard To have it all [Chorus] They told me That it couldn't be done I told them I said I'm the one That'll show you how it's done [Bridge] In the dance of contradiction, Find your truth, your conviction. In the chaos, hear the call, Oh, you gotta be, you gotta be it all.
