You’ve got nothing to hide
You’ve got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You’ve got it
You’ve really got it.

When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You live what you can
And it’s good when you’ve really got it
And when you’ve got it

Let it out
Let it show
Let ’em know
Inside you’ve got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you’vegot what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you’ve got it.

When you’ve sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it.

You begin to believe
You’ll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it

Let it out
Let it show
Let ’em know
Inside you’ve got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you’ve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you’ve got it.

What a difference it makes
When you’ve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you’ve got it.

What a difference it makes
When you’ve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you’ve got it.
When you’ve got it everyday
