Let's Get Started
Caroline Chevin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad news
On the television
Confused
About what they say
We lose
Whenever there′s a war even if they say we're winnin′ there's no victory

How long

Are we gonna take it
It's wrong
That much we know
Dead on
That′s how we gonna hit ′em, when we wanna make a difference and a better world

What we're missing I say is
Positivity
Whatta high price to pay
For you and me

Let′s get started today and sing it to the world
You can do anything, you realize that it's yours
Let′s get started today let's open every door
You can do anything, realize the world is yours

Money
Got us in a rat race
Stony
Is our road
Someday
We will rise above all the greed and the madness, gonna let them know

Worry
And trouble got us down now
Break free
Holdin′ our ground
Hurry
There's no time to lose if we wanna a make a change gotta let it out

What we're missing I say is
Positivity
Whatta high price to pay
For you and me

Let′s get started today and sing it to the world
You can do anything you realize that it′s yours
Let's get started today, let′s open every door
You can do anything realize the world is yours
Let's get started today and sing it to the world
You can do anything you realize that it′s yours
Let's get started today let′s open every door
You can do anything realize the world is yours

We know it won't be easy
Changing old habits never is
This is our destiny
Cause everybody's got something to give

If at first we don′t succeed
Realize we hold the key
Confidence is all we need
For us to set our hearts free

Let′s get started today and sing it to the world
You can do anything you realize that it's yours
Let′s get started today let's open every door
You can do anything realize the world is yours
Let′s get started today and sing it to the world
You can do anything you realize that it's yours

Let′s get started today let's open every door
You can do anything realize the world is yours
