Lyrics
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may 'cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey...
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh
Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
When I was 24, I moved far, far away from my home my mom sent me a tape with this song on it. She knew I was scared, anxious and alone and knew this song would motivate me and pick me up. She was always my biggest fan. She died last year, suddenly, of Ovarian cancer. I travelled back home to help sort through her belongings. As soon as I sat at the table to look through her photo albums, this song came on the radio. I know it was her sending a message. I miss her so much.
That was touching and so hear felt about your mom. Sorry for your lost
@@victor11218 thank you so much.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're cousin was a very intelligent person. Sorry for your loss.
This song is like a warm hug during summer. Uplifting lyrics.
This song is still strong and powerful.
It’s 2024 and this song song is still goin strong.
Absolutely ❤ my cousin just committed suicide at age 33 2 weeks ago. I grew up with him. This song holds so much wisdom and hope. I know God’s purpose for my life and this song gets me through the hard days and keeps me strong
REAL.
That’s good music for you it’s timeless ❤❤❤
Hell yeah!!!! Old skool
2024 🙏🏽
You gotta be good, you gotta be clever, you gotta be love and you gotta be strong. If you believe in this unite and don't judge :)
Hard to believe this beautiful woman was only 27 in this video. They don't make young talent like this no more!
Crazy she looks like 45 beautiful though
@@JJ-xx2fw actually she was 25 she was born Nov 1968 this was released March 1994 exactly 30 years ago she's 55 now
Sure they do. There's only one her but that's no reason to denigrate the modern youth.
@@JJ-xx2fw y’all always say someone fully dressed looks older. You don’t need a crop top to look young.
This song helps me get through all the challenging times in my life. There is nothing like a great 90s song with meaningful lyrics.
This is pretty timeless. Well composed, produced and mixed. Very wholesome and positive vibe. Classy.
Still a powerful song in 2024
This is one of the greatest motivational songs ever written. We need to play this song to our children when they fall over and start crying or get beaten in sports or exams or whatever other pursuits they undertake and become disappointed. I'm glad that this song has stood the test of time.
Absolutely. Teaches them that when they fall, they have to get back up
Most parents stay cheerful then children learn falling is No Problem..If it hurts they cry but overcome with parent's positive attitude. I didn't experience this so it strikes me. Life could be so much easier.
One of the greatest songs in my opinion ever written . The lyrics are so profound. Beautiful.
@@nachc6459 ...that they CAN get back up. :)
Agreed
My Mom passed away recently..I lost my only family and I would remember hearing this song in malls on VH1 and MTV and it still reminds me of her...My Mother was the Strongest Woman I ever knew..She was the Strongest,Wisest,Most Humble,Genuine,Loving,Caring,Bravest Woman I ever knew and musically her plight and survival losing her parents at 8 and 16 yrs old her whole struggle through all the hardship thrown her way inspired me to love guitar and music...She was a Warrior with a beautiful mind and heart..She built her success on her own and Im proud to be her son..I have my Memories of playing her my guitars and singing songs to her..She is my living example of this song..In Honor of my Mother Nancy Josephine Ciavattone..10/5/1950 - 3/11/2023..Nobody as strong as you Mom love you forever ❤️
🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
So very sorry for the loss of your beautiful mom! What a beautiful tribute ♥She would be so proud of you!!
I'm sorry for your lost may your mom rest in peace ❤
Blessings to your Queen Mother my love 💝💖💗
This came out right before "gangsta" rap went mainstream and became the default setting for the culture...
The 90s Will forever be unmatched you had to be there 💙💙💙
When talent and good lyrics ruled the music industry. 😢 This song is a master piece
Des'ree needs to see these comments to know how much her music has inspired millions around the world including me!
yeahhh...her music is an inspiration
TRUE!
TRUE ❤
Yes I agréé with you .kisses from kris from France
True that!
Reliving this masterpiece in 2024!
This song always gets me out of my funks & bad days
this song saved my life. i was abused by my mother and whenever i felt at my lowest i reminded myself of my worth with this song. i lived, and i was taken out fo tha household. i believe without the song i would've given up a long time ago. this song means so much to me
Maddy P what a testimony this song has gotten me out of depression I thank god for introducing me to this timeless hit . Thank you 🙏🏾 #Desree for this powerful song that has change so many lives . She saved so many people lives with this song . Thank you 🙏🏾.
I hope you are okay ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, I am Brazilian, And I wish the best for you. GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you for sharing. Incredibly happy you found strength in this song 💕
You contribute an intelligent, brief, heartfelt comment but the idiot who has absolutely no original thoughts "Who listenin' in 2020?" gets twice as many likes. WTF!!!
リリース当時これだけシンプルで英語も理解出来ない私が、今でも古臭さなくいつ聴いても新鮮で刺激を貰える曲に出逢えていません。
音楽の力ってとても凄いと改めて感じさせてくれた大切な曲です✨
I love this song she is a very sexy and beautiful woman
My mom told me to listen to the words of this as a kid. Miss you mom.
I love this song because it gets me thought the bad days and we all have them.
This has to be one of the best 90's songs ever
Agreed
So 90s.
This is one of the most beautifully composed and most uplifting songs ever!
The head nod mid song, from the "scared" self, to the "brave" self tells the beautiful story of how all our parts make one amazing human.
The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
🇧🇷 Que nostalgia!!! ❤
Essa é uma das músicas que escutava no rádio quando criança com 4 anos pra 5 anos que eu amava. Morávamos em um barraco eu e minha mãe, e ela se arrumando para ir trabalhar por volta das 5:00 am ligava o rádio e eu deitada escutando,e os primeiros raios de claridade entrando pela fresta da telha clareando a parede de madeira. Infância humilde mas muUuito feliz,hj tenho 33.
Fairy tale castle song in heaven.Jasna Gora.
I grew up listening to my mummy perform this song. I auditioned for to get on the Voice with this song. Such powerful words I never understood til today! Thank you Des’!
I heard this song the other day at Walgreens and that's what brought me back over here
Anyone remember that old PBS commercial playing 'You Gotta Be'? That's always what I'll remember hearing this song.
Same here. That's where I remember it from.
Yes!! I was telling a friend recently that I first heard this song as a child on PBS lol. Couldn’t remember if it was a show or what. It was a hazy memory but glad to know i wasn’t just making this up 😅
That's where I remember this song!!!! I also remember the "That's what friends are for" commercial from PBS
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was a kid.
I really miss 90's
💯
Me too. 😭
areees100 you and me both
Me too
Musically, yes.
Sang this in year 6 for our leaving assembly 🥹🥹 nostalgia 🇬🇧
Man, I love everything about this: the message in the lyrics, the way it’s shot in black and white, the cool big sister/awesome auntie vibe Des’ree is giving. Uplifting and timeless.
This song will never get old. I was singing the song in my dream.
😂
Here after getting heartbroken. Always feels like a black girls Bible when I return to this. Thanks Desree❤️
No offense but why not turn to the actual Bible? It can help you a lot more than this great song can!
Skin color has nothing to do with it, don't buy into the divide, we are all God's children.
It's 2024 and this song just popped into my head. I used to love this song as a kid and I never really knew what it all meant lol but sitting here at 5 in the morning... I never knew I'd need this so later in life.. ❤❤
I lost my father a few weeks ago from liver cancer and this song reminds me to hang in there and stay strong
I love this song!! My elementary school class used "You Gotta Be" for our graduation and the gentleman who directed us was a talented piano player. Shout out to Charnock Road Elementary School!!!
Ours too haha
beautiful song from a beautiful singer.
I remember watching my mom singing this, through the battles I never knew about ❤
This song helps me so much thank you to this woman for helping me get through a mental health crisis and be a better son to my mom.
Shes so beautiful, the song and her voice is too 🖤
Simply wonderful. Great message delivered beautifully.
This song is still banging in 2024
I’ll never not think of that pbs commercial
One of my mother's favorite songs she absolutely loved. Today she passed away and had to hear to bring me comfort like it did when I was a kid.
So sorry to hear. Your comment touched my soul. I pray for your healing Jesse.
So sorry to hear :(
Sorry for your loss ❤
My Dad passed away on January 2nd -- trying to find the inner strength to move forward. Came here to just listen to this beautiful song again 💓
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm a 90s kid here, every morning of getting up for school I never get tired of it, after hearing this song, in the future when I have me a beautiful wife and beautiful kids, I want our kids to hear real music like this. ❤️❤️❤️ 👨👩👧👦
Im at 21 fr old kid from Chicago the west side off division , I ain’t gne lie this song got me in tears it’s so many emotions I feel when I hear this song it’s so crazy this song make me shedd so many tears ………
This music is strong yet.
My brother Rod's fav song the last yr of his life. He definitely lived his life by his rules. Miss him so much. Rest in Power my handsome brother 🙏🏽
Love and God is the only thing that's gonna save my day ❤😢
This songs about witchcraft It’s inspired from shakti Gawain creative visualization. God has nothing to do with it.
PBS kids days channel 8 in Houston TX. Man my childhood 😢.
Woke up this morning lying in bed thinking of this song and its lyrics. I dont know why it came to me but I believe it's for a reason. When she sings "all I know is love will save the day" I believe it's meant that self love will save you. So love yourself a little more because you cant look to exterior "things" to make you happy (other people including even family and friends, places, money, things of the world) only self love can save you.
Sounds like true love from and of God❤❤❤
Such a beautiful song, with an honest and simple, yet profound message
I can't believe she was only 26 when this dropped.
She always seemed so much older to me.
😂
Why are you everywhere?!
@@itsjemmabond Who me?
@@banksinatra1166 Nah, I meant Caaprice, she's everywhere on UA-cam. It's all good though!
@@itsjemmabond oh alright
🎵 1995: A música quando é boa, sempre sera eterna!
😉✌️🎧🎼🇧🇷
PBS kids promo ad brought me here. Loved it when I was 6 and love it still
Most beautiful black women ever 😊 love this song, such a classic 👌
This song helped me to overcome my darkest time. Thank you desree 👍
My, oh My....😊
The 90's..............when pop music stood for truth and wisdom...........instead of blindly bigging yourself up :)
Just her voice reminds me of an era. What an extraordinary power! Thank you Des'ree 💫
April 2024......STILL HIGHLY RESONATES! 😁👍🥳🥳🥳
We used to sing this in primary school during assembly. Good memories
I went through a phase where I listened to this song over and over as a kid, learned a lot of great lessons from it.
This was our family theme song. My kids and I would sing it on the way to swim meets.
This is my theme song for the fairy tale castle 🏰 in Poland called Jasna Gora Czestochowa
No twerking, no immodesty, no swearing....just a good old fashion feel good uplifting wholesome song!
RIGHT Edith! I've never seen ANY of her body parts, but I've seen Des'ree's soul! She let that shine through in her music. I wish more music artist of today realized the power in that.
Why do you need negativity to feel positive? You really need to answer that question for yourself.
@@kevinbillingsley8256 what in the world are you talking about? I am praising a video and artist for being wholesome and you are here saying I need negativity to feel positive. You make no sense.
@@edithguzman7277 I think those that "twerk, are immodest and swear" might think you're being negative. They might see you as incapable of praising one artist without running others down in the process. See, those that "twerk, are immodest and swear" know who they are and so do all the rest of us even if you coyly neglect to mention any by name.
@@aldo6192 There's not some mythical finite amount of happiness in the universe so that you have to put something or someone down to feel better about something or someone else.
What a classic song. Has a different meaning now I’m in my 40s. 💜 3:38
What she’s trying to say is “no matter how life (ppl) is treating u , just remember that YOUR SELF LOVE will save ur day” 😉💪🏾⚪️❤️⚫️🙂
You got it 👊🏾
Still listening to it from my early 90's now it's 2021, growing stronger and bold, I love this song thanks for lifting my inner spirit.
Much needed uplift
Never give up hope some positive and encouraging people will always Cross your way!.😋🙃☺️
@@87shanell wanna write it down?
This song is on my top 10 list of most inspiring songs of all time🤗
Yesss
Oui effectivement,
Great music, good for the soul. Positive and realistic.
I use to sing this a kid and my mom never let's me forget this song. Anytime I'm feeling down she tells me remember you gotta be... lol I her for that
This song is so 90s I remember getting ready for school and thus playing on MTV
This song is one of the reasons I survived my childhood and I keep moving even still to this day
One of the best songs ever!
Thank you, Des'ree! 🌹🥰 We would love to see you perform in NC. Tanger Center would be a perfect venue for you, in Greensboro, NC. Pretty please?
Love this song. It could be an inspirational song for everyone sequestered due to the coronavirus. Hang in there folks! We'll get thru this!
It was inspirational for me years before 2020. 😊
So true.
Our destiny from love and basketball is nice too.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for saying that .
I was older when this came out (I'm 48 now), so at the time (when I was 25...I was stupid), I thought is was pop, because that was how the media used it. But now, listening to it, it's amazing. Everyone should listen to this.
My father died two week ago. I am a broken mess, I listen this song to help me through. I shall love and miss you Forever papa, rest well in perfect peace. Your pain has gone and you can walk now; kiss my grandmother I know u missed her. ❤️
sending you all the best wishes & love 🙏❤
I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been thru this too, and know how hard it is.
they live with us in memory. you'll find him there.
Your grand father is in his fairy tale castle of Jasna Gora in heaven listening to this song.😭❣️💔✝️
Love will save the day
Cool 90s song that represents the originality of song writing during that decade without trying too hard or doing things jst for shock value. Love this artist. Jst cool. And thats the best compliment in my book. Hi to all the people who watched this video when it first came out!
Well the facts are:
1) this is a wonderful song.
2) this song has been, and still is, so successful because we live in a totally wrong and stupid and fake world we made up and built over the real one (which was so beautiful and perfect like whoever or whatever had created it) and we need encouraging songs like this to cope….
I love this song, I dedicated it to my daughter who is now serving as a Marine!!!
So thankful for her service 💗🇺🇸
@@lesliemaxwell
Thank you very much, I wrote this text 1 year ago, now she is a Sergeant in the Marines and she leads Marines! She’s doing very well.
@@rkinnaird1 that’s amazing and inspiring! You’ve raised a very strong woman you must be so proud!!
@@lesliemaxwell yes I’m extremely proud, thank you
As a air force member it's a honor and privilege to serve alongside her
I remember this song I was born in 89 lets goo got to love good music
This song is my marching orders right now in my life, thank you!❤
What a classy singer and beutiful song!
agree
I love music like this because it touches the soul ❤
She's such a beauty
As an adult, this song is so necessary, and refreshing. I feel it’s gonna be make a strong
Comeback!
One of the very few songs that can make me cry, and I’m not afraid to admit that.
I can't tell you how much I wish you could have been there in the 90s. It was such a great time to be a kid
This song is so necessary ❤
This is beyond timeless. It will always have relevance in life. Just listen to the lyrics, feel what she's saying. Its a song of encouragement and staying strong no matter what. Keep going, keep fighting, keep surviving! Don't give up!
Love will save the day. Indeed.
Everyone Needs to Listen to the Message of this Song
Loves thins song when I was USA in 1995.
I love her and her music❤
✨✨ a u t h e n t I c v i e w s ✨ ✨ really propelled Des'ree to the big leagues, and for that, I'll forever be grateful
