"Being Good Isn't Good Enough" lyrics
(originally from "Hallelujah, Baby!" musical)
Being good isn't good enough
Being good won't be good enough
When I fly, I must fly extra high
And I'll need special wings so far to go
From so far below
Should I try? Am I strong enough?
Is there time? Have I long enough?
Gotta fly and if I fall
That's the way it's gotta be
There's no other way for me
Being good just won't be good enough
I'll be the best or nothing at all
I'll try, am I strong enough?
Is there time? Have I long enough?
Gotta fly and if I fall
That's the way it's gotta be
There's no other way for me
Being good just won't be good enough
I'll be the best or nothing at all
Being good won't be good enough
When I fly, I must fly extra high
And I'll need special wings so far to go
From so far below
Should I try? Am I strong enough?
Is there time? Have I long enough?
Gotta fly and if I fall
That's the way it's gotta be
There's no other way for me
Being good just won't be good enough
I'll be the best or nothing at all
I'll try, am I strong enough?
Is there time? Have I long enough?
Gotta fly and if I fall
That's the way it's gotta be
There's no other way for me
Being good just won't be good enough
I'll be the best or nothing at all
