I gotta get it straight, before it gets too late
I done made up my mnd, I been wastin' precious time
But one thing I know
I gotta get it straight before it gets too late

And if it comes together, I guess it's up to me
Can't wait for somebody else to get it straight for me
One thing I do know, it's all up to me
To change what needs to be

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

Now the longer I live, the more that I believe
The more that I give, the more that I receive, yeah
Now one thing I'll tell you, you got to give
You got to give to get what you need

And I believe that in dreamin', no harm can come to you
The worst thing that could happen is that it won't come true
But one thing that I have seen, that's a dream come true
At least a time or two

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

If there's a point to the story, I guess it's simply this
You only get a few chances, you can't afford to miss, no
One thing I'll tell you, you get that chance to hit
You can't afford to miss, no, no

You better get it straight, before it gets to late
You better make up your mind, you been wastin' precious time
One thing I do know, you gotta get it straight
Before it gets too late

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

How about you?
