Now I feel that this heart, of mine has taken many falls,
Still sometimes the rain, can turn into a waterfall,
The prettiest things, can come out of the coldest night, yeah,
And even with broken wings, sometimes you find your way to fly,

It's time to be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder,
It's time to be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder,
It's time to be,

Now I feel that this soul, of mine has had its many tolls, yeah,
Still sometimes the pain, is what we need for us to grow, yeah,
So when it's time for me, to look into my deeper side,
I will, I will find a way, to hold onto the love inside,

It's time to be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be,

See I can be anything I want to be,
All I have to do is put my mind to it, and I can do it,
So what I want you to do, is put your fist to the sky, and say it with me,

I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be, bigger bigger, stronger stronger, harder harder
Yes, I can be,
I can be
