Just Do You Lyrics
Hey yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
I heard a voice that told me I'm essential
How all my fears are limiting my potential
Said it's time to step into the light and
Use every bit of the power I have inside and
[Pre-Hook]
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Verse 2]
Every mountain needs someone to climb it
Every ocean needs someone to dive in
Every dream needs someone to wish it
Every adventure needs someone to live it
[Verse 1]
I heard a voice that told me I'm essential
How all my fears are limiting my potential
Said it's time to step into the light and
Use every bit of the power I have inside and
[Pre-Hook]
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Verse 2]
Every mountain needs someone to climb it
Every ocean needs someone to dive in
Every dream needs someone to wish it
Every adventure needs someone to live it
[Pre-Hook]
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Bridge]
If you create the game
Then you create the rules
And if you just be you
There's no way you can lose
[Verse 3]
There's a story waiting for you to write it
There's a treasure waiting for you to find it
There's a picture waiting for you to paint it
There's a dollar waiting for you to make it
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Bridge]
If you create the game
Then you create the rules
And if you just be you
There's no way you can lose
[Verse 3]
There's a story waiting for you to write it
There's a treasure waiting for you to find it
There's a picture waiting for you to paint it
There's a dollar waiting for you to make it
[Pre-Hook]
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Bridge]
If you create the game
Then you create the rules
And if you just be you
There's no way you can lose
So what you waiting on?
Who you waiting for?
If you don't take a chance
You'll never know what's in store
[Hook]
Just do you
Somebody's got to be a star
Just do you
Somebody's got to raise the bar
Just do you
Somebody's got to change the game
Just do you
Today
[Bridge]
If you create the game
Then you create the rules
And if you just be you
There's no way you can lose
