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

This song is like a warm hug during summer. Uplifting lyrics.
Yep, a warm, sincere hug from the 90s.
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.
@@lanaegun41020 you're so welcome and God bless you
Was touched here with ur story! Sorry for the loss of your mother..greetings from.Morocco
That was definitely your mommy! She's still with you honey. God bless 🙏
My cousin who passed away always told me....listen to the words 😢....be inspired... believe....RIP JoBeth
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're cousin was a very intelligent person. Sorry for your loss.
@@saidaboubakar5039 Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling suic*dal.
I have felt that way multiple times throughout my life, and I'm just 17.
I won't say any cliche words because I know they don't help. Just know that I'm here and I see you.
@@CheesePuff-hn3ik thanks a lot
@@saidaboubakar5039 No problem at all.
This song is still strong and powerful.
This song helps me get through all the challenging times in my life. There is nothing like a great 90s song with meaningful lyrics.
I used to see and hear this on VH1 all the time back in the summer of 1994. I'm 39 years old and I still love this song. Thank heavens for TH-cam, because we don't see this stuff on TV anymore. I miss 1994.
Thank God 🙏🏾
Yes, I'm the same age and I only ever recall hearing it on the radio. In fact, this is my first time seeing the music video. I imagine seeing it at so young an age must have been quite hypnotic.
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!
Mac Book ProのCMを見て久しぶりに聴きにきました
耳がまだ覚えている素晴らしい名曲
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
This song actually has substance. The lyrics combined with the chord changes are uplifting and inspirational.
felt this. especially as an adult who studies music theory for fun... now this hits harder.. like that backdoor 251 esque sound (G Bb C) in this case 5 7 1 back to C on the tail end of the chorus ... phew 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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 🙏🏽
This song always gets me out of my funks & bad days
Back in 1994 Des'ree told everyone you gotta be so many things. In 2024, love still saves the day
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.
@@757PrincessAnd plenty of older women look great in crop tops.
I really miss 90's
💯
Me too. 😭
areees100 you and me both
Me too
Musically, yes.
This is one of the most beautifully composed and most uplifting songs ever!
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 💝💖💗
Lindo e emocionante depoimento. Tenho certeza que sua mamãe onde ela estiver, vai sempre tá te olhando e protegendo junto com outros seres de luz. Realmente essa música é linda. Eu amo essa música. Eu moro na cidade de Feira de Santana no estado da Bahia. Brasil! Fique com Deus e tudo de bom.
🇧🇷 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.
When talent and good lyrics ruled the music industry. 😢 This song is a master piece
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!!!
Such a beautiful song, with an honest and simple, yet profound message
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.
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’!
This has to be one of the best 90's songs ever
Agreed
So 90s.
One of the single most underappreciated artists of all time. This lady is PHENOMENAL
Voice of an angel
She was very appreciated this song was huge when it came out
AppleのCMに使われていて久しぶりに聴きました
良い曲は色褪せない…
My motivational song after a divorce, raising my 3 kids . My oldest son sent a link to the song in our family chat ❤He’s 30 now!
just discover it now, lol, divorce from a narc is hard
Who's listening in 2024
Me ❤
Me!❤
Me!! ❤❤
Yup
1.04.2024 Ukraine
My 5th grade teacher played this for us when we were moving to the 6th grade it stuck with me forever.
Thankyou mr.grandberry you thought me hell of some lessons to prepare me for life
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
Just her voice reminds me of an era. What an extraordinary power! Thank you Des'ree 💫
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❤❤❤
I believe that in this realm, self love is important to sustain existence well. It's part of self care. Jesus sustains what comes after.
What a song with powerful and meaningful lyrics! I've loved this song since I was 12 years old back in '94.
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.
This song will never get old. I was singing the song in my dream.
😂
What a classy singer and beutiful song!
agree
Classic love this woman remember seeing her whilst shopping and she looked at me and smiled while she was with her mother will never forget that moment warm and beautiful soul.
I would have collapsed on the floor lol - love her

This song really blessed and strengthened me when I was going through a very challenging and difficult time in my life. When I heard this song I begin to cry. It so touched my heart. Thank you, des'ree. You Gotta be Strong, wiser, calm, cool, etc...

Hey Kris, I was just listening last night to “You got to be.” That song always blesses me. Thank you so very kindly for messaging me. Grace, peace & many blessings be upon you, your hear & your vm path.
Note: I live in America (Las Vegas)
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.
This song helped me to overcome my darkest time. Thank you desree 👍
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. ❤️❤️❤️ 👨👩👧👦
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 is my theme song for the fairy tale castle 🏰 in Poland called Jasna Gora Czestochowa
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 this song in a car or truck ad, I’ve been searching for this song for over 20 years and today I found it. But I can’t remember the ad I’m talking of.
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
I love this song. I never had a mother figure growing up in the 80s/90s and when I first heard this song. I instantly fell infatuated with her strength. One of the most inspirational songs I've ever listened to.
Simply wonderful. Great message delivered beautifully.
Ouvia essa música nas rádios do Brasil, quando eu tinha 11 anos de idade, não fazia idéia do que dizia a letra, mas sentia a vibe boa da música. Vou adicionar agora à minha playlist atual. Em 2022, ainda é uma delicia de música e que voz maravilhosa👏🏻👏🏻
Essa música é magnífica combina pra quem quer se livrar de algo negativo ou ser independente
10대시절에 듣던 노래인데 지금도 좋아요.
사랑합니다!
The 90's..............when pop music stood for truth and wisdom...........instead of blindly bigging yourself up :)
Música e cantora do primeiro escalão, nunca ninguém vai ficar enjoado...uma grande intérprete da música pop internacional, uma cantora desta grandeza e esfera jamais será esquecido por ninguém...todos nós somos gratos a ela por ter nos presenteado com seus trabalhos musical de nível extra-atmosférico....quem nunca foi feliz ouvindo esta grande cantora internacional!
Realmente ela é di mais...pra quem gosta de umas boas musicas, da nota máxima pra ela!
Something VERY VERY wrong here... such a GREAT SINGER AND SONG, with less than 10k of views. I really CAN´T believe in my eyes... Des´ree, YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST. LOVE your songs.
exactly what I was thinking
There is another video of this song that has 22 million views.
You completely missed the version uploaded in 2011 with 22 million views!!
That time I wrote this comment, I discovered an agressive cancer and I completely missed the aswers, guys! After a 5 year delay, I really aprecciate your kindness!
This video has now almost 2 million views! And I´ll look for the 2011 version. Thank you for all!
What a classic song. Has a different meaning now I’m in my 40s. 💜 3:38
Same!!!!
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.
들으면 들을수록 좋은 노래입니다 감사합니다🎉
I spent more than 30 years looking for this song, I heard it a lot during my childhood. This week in the car, I managed to listen to it once again and now, it won't leave my playlist!!!
Just heard this in Walgreens. Great reminder, I loved this song the moment it was released.
Song literally popped into my head while dealing with a problem
Same. There is Help from Angels.
Great music, good for the soul. Positive and realistic.
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 🙏🏽
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 TH-cam. It's all good though!
@@itsjemmabond oh alright
What a great song. This song brought such joy and strength to my heart on leaving school and I played it 1,000s of times. My friends loved it too. I recall hearing it played at a few venues after graduating and lots people enjoying it. I still love it. Thanks Des'ree, from my heart. ❤️
Bring this song back for everyone to hear! It's amazing, easy to listen to, and the message is what we all need to hear.
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?
Thank for strengthening me through this song , it really empowers me with all the crap we are going through right now plus dealing with stage 3 cancer!
Imperdibile,indimenticabile, ricordi...ricordi....❤❤❤❤❤❤video ...che meraviglia!!!
カバーからこの曲を知ったけど、やっぱりDes'reeさんのが一番好き
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.
Très belle voix vraiment
et que de souvenirs 😪🥰 toutes les émotions sont là ❤
Dans ma playlist de tout les jours 😊
Me donne de la force 💪
PBS kids promo ad brought me here. Loved it when I was 6 and love it still
Blasting this in my headphone walking the streets of NYC. SO INSPIRING
Got home from work like a normal day but today was different I just started humming this song, had to come in and relive another good old tune from long travels with the family as a kid, mad how the brain works.
フロアでこの曲を聴いて身体を揺らせた事が素晴らしい思い出です。
Simply a classic song. Great message within a song, gosh I really miss the 90's and early millennium 😢😙 Everything were simpler
She never got her flowers... But she fixed many hearts, and inspired many souls, bless her.
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’ve probably heard this song about once or twice in me life and I’m in my late 40s. I’ve never heard it on the radio, A commercial used this song for a jingle and that’s the only time I heard it and that’s been decades ago. This song just popped up in my head today and I came straight to TH-cam to hear it! “What a great song”
I was in a kindergarten when i heard this song around 1994. This song used to play every morning in international playlist in national television. After 25 years, out of nowhere, the melody of this song started to play in the back of my head, but i didn't knew the lyrics. I looked for this song for almost two years, and i used to get really icky when i couldn't find it. Today, the spotify played this song at my work. Im still in awe, how did i came across this song after 27 years. 😢😅😂🎉
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 love this song! I’ve heard it before but, never knew until now who sang it. It really spoke to me on so many levels. I been going through a hard time lately, and I needed to hear this! ❤️
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.
The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
I loved this song so much in the 90's, never knew she was the singer.. a whole new appreciation for the singer and the song
This song is the first day of school, this song is the first crisp breeze of autumn, this song is your first best friend's smile, this song is the college graduate straightening their tassel....this song is everything!!
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?
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.😭❣️💔✝️
Same boat Guy my pops loved these Sets specially Mrs Philosopher here
Ever Since He had introduced me to nothing to lose On Vhs
We had a rough road in relationship wise lots Of arguments overtime Jackasnnes which y'all can relate
But all I can hear Is him always say throughout all that to me n my bros is use Your head My bros thought he's crazy n yea he was crazy to not handle shit better but That one phrase by him to me Was Always there n overtime before he layed his bed from natural causes i acknowledged his Devotion in him saying that.
Bc when the whole ma and pa here's A who story hit in well
Catastrophe Old lady just makes terrible choices yet father very sensitive but yea both def were not saint's surprisingly they been like 50 yrs in to
(In all fairness on Old lady's part tho She has been taking care of taking in a lot of people raising us n us growing up on her part N our situations was Hell on earth in the pre hundreds 2000 times)
Still gives no right To have that affect the fam n that's been happening on both behalfs.
lots of broken missing n misplaced out out of order things since Kinda no better Then The people they both were telling me storys about drew the conclusion they were there own worst Enemy But then time passes again living with scum that phrase of fathers still stood all that in this 22 yr run just proved how true that is specially when the separation hit in gah people r just Scum n Mother Was giving them Wings dealing with Pepole like that is What my Father Meant it's a big Big World out here n yea he made the worst choices to n specially when it came to how he coulda handled these things but I now see bad choices don't necessarily make u a bad personl tho he was 63 shoulda still knew better
But I made it clear to him a while ago why he kept saying that the last I talked to him was on around this fathers day Fr just told him n I loved him bc Him alone saying that all the time I understand that it proved His I told him I'd take him to the new bad boys after a lil reminisce n finesse to he told me to stay gold headed as Like a Lv up to that previous phrase he knew I Stasised my mistakes but Ironically he didnt fully expand from his But I'm happy Me n my bros was the last thing he talked to i had no idea I needed it so much
I still don't know how it happened but like I said earlier natural causes which is the same for most of us
But that's what they Would want as One Man To another n that's what men will do as Boys that grew from boys To Men
There’s something about this MV that’s so mesmerizing. I just dont know if it’s her body movement, hand gestures, her smile, her eyes…. I guess it’s everything.
Reminds me of being 12 and it was only happy carefree times then plus alot of good music that touches your soul and empowers you.
Shes so beautiful, the song and her voice is too 🖤
Man, this song is phenomenal! Never cease to amaze me!
Most beautiful black women ever 😊 love this song, such a classic 👌
I’m not sure what year this came out but I remember hearing this song on the radio. I had to be 3-4 years old. I’m now 28, and at a low scary place afraid to make moves in my career and environment. This is the song i needed to hear. Thank you beautiful Des’ree 🤍
Listen to hear baby ! You got this ❤
@@itsthewinebaby8527❤❤❤ thank you!
As an adult, this song is so necessary, and refreshing. I feel it’s gonna be make a strong
Comeback!
Lyrics and vibe here mean more then ever right now. Kindess and love is all the hope we need to be better versions of ourselves.
One of the very few songs that can make me cry, and I’m not afraid to admit that.
Such a great album; a timeless selection of eclectic and various styles of music; every song is different. 7x🤎
I always think about this song when I am super grateful for finding the job I prayed for....
I have loved this song deeply my whole life. It meant so much to me as an adolescent/teenage girl, and still makes me smile every time I hear it.
🎵 1995: A música quando é boa, sempre sera eterna!
😉✌️🎧🎼🇧🇷
Love this song. Growing up in the 90s, even today, this song brings so much joy to life. Thank you des'ree for the memories ❤️
I love this song so much! This song, her voice and her words, help me stay strong.
It’s the 28 year cycle
