WHO’VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO WHAT LIL’ CHILDREN CAN DO
HAVE IMAGINARY FRIENDS AND CASTLES FLOATIN’ IN THE AIR
‘CAUSE CHILLEN DON’T YOU KNOW THAT LIFE IS A TRIAL
AND WE’RE ONLY ON EARTH FOR SUCH A LITTLE WHILE
LETS DO WHAT’S IMPORTANT, SHOW FRIENDS AND FAMBLY THAT WE
CARE
AND SOME START WITH FIVE HUNDRED TALENTS
AND THE REST OF US START WITH TWO
BUT WHEN YOU INVEST YOURSELF IN LIFE
ITS GONNA DOUBLE FOR YOU
AND WE CAN DO EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO
JUST HAVE FAITH IN THE SON OF MAN
AND HE’LL HELP US LIKE THAT LITTLE CHOO CHOO TRAIN
WHO SAID I THINK I CAN I KNOW I CAN
HE SAID I THINK I CAN I KNOW I CAN
LOTSA BITTER PEOPLE SAY THEY’VE HAD A BAD SHAKE
THAT THEIR NEIGHBOR’S LOT IS A PIECE OF CAKE
THEY MOAN AND GROAN AND COMPLAIN THAT LIFE JUSS AIN’T FAIR
SOME FOLKS HAVE A HEAD START I KNOW IT’S TRUE
BUT HARD WORK WILL CROWN THE WINNER WHEN THE RACE IS THROUGH
REMEMBER THE STORY ABOUT THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE
AND WE CAN DO EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO
JUSS HAVE FAITH IN THE SON OF MAN
AND HE’LL HELP US LIKE THAT LIL’ CHOO CHOO TRAIN
WHO SAID I THINK I CAN I KNOW I CAN
AND IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WITH OUT A SMILE
GIVE’M THE ONE THAT BELONGED TO YOU
AND TOGETHER YOU CAN WATCH IT GROW UNTIL
IT’S BIG ‘NUFF FER TWO
NOW I FEEL SORRY FOR ANY CHILD
THAT WEREN’T AN UGLY DUCKLING FOR A LITTLE WHILE
IT’S NICE TO FIT IN BUT IF YOU DON’T IT MAKES YOU STRONG
YOU DON’T GOTTA BE LIKE NOBODY ELSE
YOU JUSS GOTTA BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
IF YOU KNOW YOU’RE RIGHT YOU’RE RIGHT
SO DON’T BE DOIN’ NO WRONG
