I was gonna cancel 00:01
Then I looked into the sky 00:03
And knew the bad news won't prevent the sun to shine 00:05
I was gonna cancel 00:08
Then took a sec to realize 00:11
All the disappointment that would trail behind 00:13
I was gonna cancel 00:16
Then you reminded me of who I am 00:19
Everything is clearer than a mirror is to woman 00:25
Just the same as a dog is to man 00:29
Just hop out of the bed, (hey) 00:32
Go ahead face the day 00:35
Who cares what you know 00:37
Don't let that in the way no way 00:39
Shut out all the doubt, (hey) 00:41
Just get up and go 00:43
What's on the other side? (Yeah) 00:45
You will never know unless you 00:47
Go, go, go, go-o-o 00:49
Go, go, go, go-o-o 00:53
Go, go, go, go-o-o 00:57
Go, go, go, go girl 01:01
I was gonna cancel 01:12
Then I thought about the strength that 01:15
I got from all of the prayers and what it meant 01:17
I was gonna cancel 01:20
Then I realized that time is just like money and love 01:23
Watch how you spend 01:26
I was gonna cancel 01:29
Until you reminded me of what I do 01:31
Now I see it clearer 01:36
My best friend is the mirror look behind me 01:39
And I see all the things I've been through 01:41
Just hop out of the bed, (hey) 01:44
Go ahead face the day 01:47
Who cares what you know 01:49
Don't let that in the way no way 01:51
Shut out all the doubt, (hey) 01:53
Just get up and go 01:55
What's on the other side? (Yeah) 01:58
You will never know unless you 01:59
Go, go, go, go-o-o 02:02
Go, go, go, go-o-o 02:06
Go, go, go, go-o-o 02:10
Go, go, go, go girl 02:14
What's wrong with saying I love you? 02:25
It's nothing to kid about 02:27
Some people going through a struggle 02:29
Trying to scribble it out 02:31
They say attention is a shovel 02:33
It's time to dig 'em out 02:36
You can't just let them stay in a bubble 02:37
They'll pop to get it out 02:40
What's wrong with love, love? 02:41
What's wrong with love, love? 02:49
Just hop out of the bed, (hey) 02:57
Go ahead face the day 03:00
Who cares what you know 03:02
Don't let that in the way no way 03:03
Shut out all the doubt, (hey) 03:06
Just get up and go 03:07
What's on the other side? (Yeah) 03:09

[English]

I was gonna cancel
Then I looked into the sky
And knew the bad news won't prevent the sun to shine
I was gonna cancel
Then took a sec to realize
All the disappointment that would trail behind
I was gonna cancel
Then you reminded me of who I am
Everything is clearer than a mirror is to woman
Just the same as a dog is to man
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl
I was gonna cancel
Then I thought about the strength that
I got from all of the prayers and what it meant
I was gonna cancel
Then I realized that time is just like money and love
Watch how you spend
I was gonna cancel
Until you reminded me of what I do
Now I see it clearer
My best friend is the mirror look behind me
And I see all the things I've been through
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl
What's wrong with saying I love you?
It's nothing to kid about
Some people going through a struggle
Trying to scribble it out
They say attention is a shovel
It's time to dig 'em out
You can't just let them stay in a bubble
They'll pop to get it out
What's wrong with love, love?
What's wrong with love, love?
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl
