Believe in Yourself
Flash and the Pan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There ain't a mountain you can't climb
When you believe in yourself
There ain't a river you can't swim
When you believe in yourself
There ain't a sea that can't be crossed
A sky that can't be flown
A field that can't be ploughed
And a seed that can't be sown
A chance that you will never
Get to make it on your own
When you believe in yourself

Believe in yourself, believe in yourself
Don't let it get you
Don't let the thought get you down
Believe in yourself, believe in yourself
Don't hesitate when you know that it won't wait around

There ain't a path that you can't take
When you believe in yourself
There ain't a chain that you can't break
When you believe in yourself
There ain't a road that can't be walked
A race that can't be run
A soul that can't be moved
And a day that can't be fun
A life that can't be lived
And a heart that can't be won
When you believe in yourself

Believe in yourself, believe in yourself
Don't let it get you
Don't let the thought get you down
Believe in yourself, believe in yourself
Don't hesitate when you know that it won't wait around
Believe in yourself

Don't think about it, you got it all there inside
Believe in yourself
There ain't nothing to it, just stand up and do it
What can you lose when you try
Believe in yourself
Ain't nothing to it, stand up and do it




Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself.
