"You Won't Fail" lyrics

"You Won't Fail"

In all our lives, there's ups and downs and changes
Our best made plans, life can rearrange them
We must try to roll with the punches
'Cause the bottom line, do all you can you do
'Cause the rest truly ain't nothing new

So just (Do your best)
Come on (Take your time)
Well, well (Do it right)
Only you know how to do it, no (You won't fail)

And there are times you can't win for losing
And all the odds seem (Seems like they're against you)
But surely, surely as long as you're breathing
Hey, then you got a chance to make your stand
'Cause it was never in your hands

So just (Do your best)
(Take your time)
Do it right (Do it right)
Only you know how to do it, and you (You won't fail)
No, no, no

You, you won't fail, no
You won't fail

We must learn to take the bitter with the sweet
It's just a test, a test to see how we will be
Still, we find strength sometimes in our defeat
So when you really lose, it only shows that we're not in control

So just (Do your best)
(Take your time)
(Do it right)
Only you know how to do it, and you (You won't fail)
No, no, no, no

Oh, you just (Do your best)
You just (Take your time)
You just (Do it right)
Only you know how to do it, and you (You won't fail)
No, no, you won't, no, you won't
Hey

Some of us know about the bitter
There are some that know about the sweet
We gotta make our stand and you can't be bleak
Lookie here, we gotta take our time, so don't you get weak
Do your best, child, 'cause it's all a part of the test
And we go around saying

Well, well
Oh, well, well
Well

Listen children, do all you can, do all you can do
And you will always get what's comin' to you
So just take your time and spread a little love
And I know you'll be blessed by the Man above
And say whoa, yeah
Whoa, hey
Whoa, hey, yeah
Well
