Analysis of Believe in yourself

Donwan 1970 (New Jersey)



BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
AND IN YOUR DREAM
THROUGH IMPOSSIBLE THINGS MAY SEEM
SOMEDAY, SOME HOW YOU'LL GET THROUGH
TO THE GOAL YOU HAVE IN VIEW.
MOUNTAINS FALL AND SEAS DIVIDE
BEFORE THE ONE WHO IN HIS STRIDE
TAKES A HARD ROAD DAY BY DAY,
SWEEPING OBSTACLES AWAY.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND IN YOUR PLAN.
SAY NOT -- I CANNOT -- BUT, I CAN.
THE PRIZES OF LIFE WE FAIL TO WIN
BECAUSE WE DOUBT  THE POWER WITHIN.
