Daddy told me when I was young
He said it`s a long road you`ve begun
Sometimes it`s easy, sometimes it`s hard
But as you walk the road remember who you are
You`ve gotta roll with the punches
You`ve gotta aim to hit the mark
You`ve gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you`re deciding in the dark
You`ve gotta listen to the whisper of your heart
He said make it a practice to be true
`Cause when push comes down to shove it`s up to you
To keep believing in your dreams
And to sing your song if you`ve got a song to sing
You`ve gotta roll with the punches
You`ve gotta aim to hit the mark
You`ve gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you`re deciding in the dark
You`ve gotta listen to the whisper of your heart
The years have come, the years have gone
Yes and I have learned some lessons on my own
The winds of fortune are sure to change
But the wisdom in these words will stay the same
You`ve gotta roll with the punches
You`ve gotta aim to hit the mark
You`ve gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you`re deciding in the dark
You`ve gotta listen to the whisper of your heart
