Lyrics

Everybody's gonna have hard times some time in their life
It's not the troubles that we have
It's the way we face them
There's no crime in falling down
But you must get up again
Look the world right in the face
Tell them that you're back again
Don't be sorry for yourself
Don't let it get you down
See the cup half full
Not the cup half empty

If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
So let the music help you through any trouble that they bring
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing

Everybody's gonna lose at love some time in their life
And they're always bound to think
Greater love had no man
But the pain will fade away and you mustn get up again
Look the world right in the face
Tell em that you're back again
Just be true to your own self
Though the wind is in your face
We were born to love
Let the music lift you

If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
So let the music help you through any trouble that they bring
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing

Everybody's gonna have hard times some time in their life
It's not the troubles that we have
It's the way we face them
There's no crime in falling down
But you must get up again
Look the world right in the face
Tell them that you're back again
Don't be sorry for yourself
Don't let it get you down
See the cup half full
Not the cup half empty


If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
So let the music help you through any trouble that they bring
If you can walk you can dance
If you can talk you can sing
