Try hard

**(Verse 1)**
You’ve gotta try so hard in life
If you really want to grow
Don’t say someone hasn’t done it for you
When you’ve done nothing for yourself
If you want to ask your country what she’s done for you this week
First ask yourself what you’ve done for your country since this year began
Then you’ll know that you have a part to play
(You have a part to play)
Then you’ll know that you have a role to play
To bring that real change we need
**(Chorus)**
If you really wanna bring some change
You’ve got to work hard each day of your life
You’ve got to stay away from anything that makes you waste your time
If you keep wasting your time
Then there is no way that you can grow
We’ve got to come together right now
And keep trying really hard
Bridge:
The change we need, yeah
The change we need, yeah
**(Verse 2)**
Instead of wasting time thinking someone’s gonna change your life
Spend time trying to change your life and that of someone close to you
These changes put together will make the real change that we need
Know that the change we need begins with you right away
You’ve got a role to play to build your nation
(To build your nation, uuh yeah eh)
There is something in you you can offer to build Africa and the world
**(Chorus)**
If you really wanna bring some change
You’ve got to work hard each day of your life
You’ve got to stay away from anything that makes you waste your time
If you keep wasting your time
Then there is no way that you can grow
We’ve got to come together right now
And keep trying really hard
...............
**(Bridge)**
If you play your part to the best that you can
You keep going
(You keep going)
If everyone plays their part then we shall win
Together as one, Africa, we can bring the change we need
If we break those barriers now, then we shall grow
**(Chorus)**
If you really wanna bring some change
You’ve got to work hard each day of your life
You’ve got to stay away from anything that makes you waste your time
If you keep wasting your time
Then there is no way that you can grow
We’ve got to come together right now
And keep trying really hard
**(Bridge)**
Africa stand as a country
Not a group of countries filled with confusion
Chorus/Outro
If you really wanna bring some change
You’ve got to work hard each day of your life
You’ve got to stay away from anything that makes you waste your time
If you keep wasting your time
Then there is no way that you can grow
We’ve got to come together right now
And keep trying really hard
If you really wanna bring some change
You’ve got to work hard each day of your life
You’ve got to stay away from anything that makes you waste your time
If you keep wasting your time
Then there is no way that you can grow
We’ve got to come together right now
And keep trying really hard
