You Can Do Anything

This qualifies as my first ever effort on the World Wide Web. By request, it was necessary to dust it off a bit. The idea and the lyrics just popped into my head some years ago when I had volunteered at the local elementary school do a music lesson for the children in Miss Jennings Third grade class.
Thanks for watching!

You Can Do Anything
By Thomas King


You can do anything that you want to do
All you've got to do is try
You can be anything that you want to be
Just spread your wings and you will fly

Everybody has a dream, an aspiration or so it seems
A goal in life that they would like to come true
It seems to me that the way to be is simply to roll up your sleeves
Your determination and faith will see you through

The story of the tortoise and the hare will serve
To remind us all that what I say is true
The ones that don't stop tryin' 'til they cross the finish line
Will win in life at everything they do

Think of Albert Einstein, Queen Liliuokalani,
Beethoven, Michelangelo too
One thing they shared in common, they possessed a burning desire
To finish that which they set out to do

The message here I hope is clear. In life there is no room for fear
Develop your ideas into plans
For life is full of winners and the winners always are
The ones who in their minds think they can!

You can do anything that you want to do
All you've got to do is try
You can be anything that you want to be
Just spread your wings and you will fly
Just spread your wings and you will fly
You will flyyy....You will.....

For some reason, I was expecting the song from Sonic CD.

@VerendumGames I hope you found it a pleasant surprise. The message is the same, I present it in my own way. Best wishes to you,

@Cameragirl803 Sometimes It take a friend to remind us of the obvious. thank you Jane for being that friend. I made this song up 20 years ago when I first came to Ka`u and sang it for Miss Jenning's class. Now after all this time I still am volunteering at the school. Now in the school garden.Maybe we should try singing in the garden ;-)

You are excellent. Self taught. Amazing. You have a gift. I'm sure the third grade class loved this. Hell, I am 45 and love it. You play that guitar very, very well. I need to subscribe so I can return and listen to all your songs. Thanks for sharing. I'll be back. Bless you.
