Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted. Don't be ashamed to cry :)

1) ""You Gotta Be" is a song recorded by the British pop and soul singer Des'ree. It was the first single from her second album I Ain't Movin.
It was released several times : first in 1994, then in 1995, 1996 in a remixed version. The single was also re-released in 1998, following the success of the previous singles "Life" and "Kissing You". Although it was the remake of a disc already released as a single, the single was charted again and peaked #14 in UK.
In Italy, the song was very popular because it was chosen as the soundtrack of some TV adverts, including those of Breil in 1996 and Ford Focus of 2000[1].
The song remained for 26 weeks on ARC Weekly Top 40, which was a feat at the time (see List of ARC Weekly Top 40 chart achievements and trivia).
The music video is in black and white. In 1995, it was nominated in the category of "Best Female Video" in the MTV Video Music Awards, but did not win."

2) "Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view "
