You Can

You can't start a future in the past

You can't stop trying and make it last

You can't be wrong and say you're right

You can't make up and continue to fight

You can't say it's over and go back

You can't have it all and say you lack

you can't love the one you hate

You can't feel alone and have a mate

You can change your direction in life

You can reverse your pain and strife

You can take a stand for your belief

You can let go and feel relief

You can win and refuse to lose

You can walk away from abuse

You can get out of your sorrow

You can build a better tomorrow
