about

Can't Help Yourself, written during one of the marathon songwriting challenges, FAWM 2018, or February Album Writing Month. It is another anthem of positivity, celebrating the drive to succeed.

lyrics

Can't help yourself from dreaming
And Reaching for the sky
Can't help yourself from trying
Night after night

Though you stumble and fall
That doesn't matter at all
You do it over and over again

Can't help yourself from picking up the pieces
And giving it another go
Can't help yourself from trying to make it work
Despite the looks folks throw your way

Most aren't like you at all
They fail before they can start
That's what makes you special

'Cause the world belongs to the dreamers
The few, the proud the brave
The world belongs to the dreamers
Who are willing to stand up for what they believe

Can't help yourself from working
On those goals more than once in a while
Can't help yourself from planning
For a future that's looking bright

Taking one step at a time
With your eyes open wide
Willing to do more than try

'Cause the world belongs to the dreamers
The few, the proud the brave
The world belongs to the dreamers
Who are willing to stand up for what they believe

Can't help yourself from moving forward
Can't help yourself from becoming more

'Cause the world belongs to the dreamers
The few, the proud the brave
The world belongs to the dreamers
Who are willing to stand up for what they believe
