Understand It's You Songtext

von Tess Henley

Understand,
That understanding your dreams demand
Is your own creed
For getting where you want to be.
If you believe it's true
That you can rise above what you pursue,
Then baby you're fine,
'Cause your toughest competition is you.

She told them about all her plans.
"It's what I've wanted," she said.
They just laughed, turned their heads, they replied,
"Girl you've got a tough road ahead."
Now she's in a rut,
Thinking her confidence was just a hopeful, but unlikely view.
She can't listen to them.
She knows, she knows what she's got to do.

Understand,
That understanding your dreams demand
Is your own creed
For getting where you want to be.
If you believe it's true
That you can rise above what you pursue,
Then baby you're fine,
'Cause your toughest competition is you.

He grew up where promise showed like a blue moon.
It was like every path was a dead end.
Expectations were that you'd fall through soon.
No longer did he want to live that way.
His momma saw it in his driven face.
She let him go, let him know, "I want the best for you."
Now he's in a better place.

Understand,
That understanding your dreams demand
Is your own creed
For getting where you want to be.
If you believe it's true
That you can rise above what you pursue,
Then baby you're fine,
'Cause your toughest competition is you.
