This song is available on Curriculum Rock's The Power of Yet
I used to think success was just a question of luck
And that wherever I started, that's where I'd be stuck
But nothing's stopping me from climbin', I just need to put the time in
Actually a lot is up to me
The harder I work, the luckier I'll be
Sure, some things are random, and they're out of our control
But there's no reason not to go after a goal
Anyone can improve and grow - If I keep showing up I'll show
How much I can do, and learn, and see
The harder I work, the luckier I'll be
Brains and talent are just the starting line
It takes dedication and preparation and determination to shine
Besides, if being lucky is all you need
I wouldn't deserve any credit when I succeed
Perseverance is a skill I highly recommend
Yes, hard work is hard but it's worth it in the end
When I worry I can't do it, that's the time I need to stick to it
Have faith I'll make it eventually
The harder I work, the luckier I'll be
Brains and talent are just the starting line
It takes dedication and preparation and determination to shine
Besides, if being lucky is all you need
I wouldn't deserve any credit when I succeed
And I'll succeed!
Perseverance is a skill I highly recommend
Yes, hard work is hard but it's worth it in the end
When I worry I can't do it, that's the time I need to stick to it
Have faith I'll make it eventually
The harder I work the luckier I'll be
The harder I work-work, work-work, work-work, work
The luckier I'll be! (work-work) (repeat, fade)
