Let me tell you

I remember in the days of old
Doesn't seem that long ago
It was, "Johnny you won't be nothing
Unless you do what you're told"

Study medicine or study law
And please put away the guitar
The best you'll ever be
Is a local star at the local bar

But I went and did it anyway
Family helping all the way
Now I'm here today, 5 records later
So see you can hear me say

'Don't let 'em tell you can't be
Anything you wanna be
Don't be deceived
Anything's possible'

'If you will just believe
Then you can succeed
It might not be easy
But anything's possible'

What if old Ben Franklin
Would've been frightened by lightening?
If he would of stayed inside then
We'd still be in the dark

Martin Luther King
Did some beautiful things
All because they had a dream
Just like you and me

Don't let 'em tell you can't be
Anything you wanna be
Don't be deceived
Anything's possible

If you will just believe
Then you can succeed
It might not be easy

Don't you know it's gonna be sweat
And some tears, some hard years
Best believe they'll be hurt
And some pain, expect some rain

You're gonna make it if you try
Keep your eye on the prize, you can take it
Might have to work it but it's gonna be worth it
Don't let em tell you that you don't deserve it

No, no, don't let 'em tell you can't be
Anything you wanna be
Don't be deceived
Anything's possible

If you will just believe
Then you can succeed
It might not be easy
But anything's possible

No, no, anything's possible
No, no, anything's possible
No, no, anything's possible
No
