You Can Get It If You Really Want It

(Jimmy Cliff) You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try - you'll succeed at last - mmh Persecution you must fear Win or lose you got to get your share You've got your mind set on a dream You can get it though hard it may seem now You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try - you'll succeed at last Don't you know it - listen Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the harder the battle you see Is the sweeter the victory, girl You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try - you'll succeed at last from 'The Harder They Come' (soundtrack, 1972) hit version performed by 'Desmond Dekker' (1970)
