Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh, hmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
Happy are those people who choose to be free
They always have the greatest personalities
You like havin' them around
When you're feelin' down and incomplete, mmm
[Verse 3]
Knowin' the right things to say at the right time
And if they don't know the answers they will find
You become attracted to
Their wisdom, virtue, state of mind
[Verse 4]
Understand it's up to you to finally face the truth
And check out all the signs
We're empty when alone, lost when your friends are gone
And you can't stay on your mind, you just need to know that
[Verse 5]
Good times, (Oh, Lord) good times (Mmm-hmm)
Waitin' there for you, (Oh, yeah) all you gotta do (Believe)
Believe, (Release) release (Mmm-hmm)
You will make it through, you will make it through
[Verse 6]
You become someone whose mind has been set free
Others will notice your great personality, yeah
They'll notice your heart is pure
That you're not insecure and incomplete, mmm-hmm
[Verse 7]
You'll know all the right things to say at the right time
And if you don't know the answers you will find them
They'll become attracted to
Their wisdom, virtue, state of mind
[Verse 8]
Understand it's up to you to finally face the truth
And check out all the signs
We're empty when alone, lost when your friends are gone
And you can't stay on your mind, you just need to know that
[Verse 9]
Good times, (Good times) good times (Waitin')
Waitin' there for you, (Ooh, ooh) all you gotta do (Believe)
Believe, (And release) release (Hmm-mmm)
You will make it through (Yeah)
You will make it through (Said the good times, yeah)
[Verse 10]
Good times, good times (Yeah)
Waitin' there for you, (Ooh, ooh) all you gotta do (You gotta believe)
Believe, (And release whats on your mind, yeah) release
You will make it through (You will make it through)
You will make it through (Oh, whoa, oh, oh, ooh)
[Verse 11]
Hey, aye, you just need to know that
Good times (Good times)
Good times (Waiting there for you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Waitin' there for you, all you gotta do (Gotta believe)
Believe, (And release) release (Oh, oh)
You will make it through, you will make it through
[Verse 12]
(You need to know that good times) Good times
Good times (Waiting on you)
Waitin' there for you (Waitin' there for you, yeah)
All you gotta do (Gotta believe)
Believe (And release your mind, yeah, yeah) release
You will make it through, you will make it through
