The way we begin every day . . . in song, of course. With profound lyrics and melody, You’ve Gotta Want It by Roberta Gold, is a hit with Harness the Stars Kids Opera Company. In fact, it inspired our company name. At 9:20 a.m., if you happen to walk down the hall, you’ll hear us preparing ourselves to meet the challenges of a new day.
Flame is the fire that fuels the dream
That powers the engine that turns the world.
Passion is lightning that creates a spark
That lives in the heart of a boy and girl.
Everyone tries in his own way
Everyone lives for a dream.
The stars in the heavens can tell you
To believe is a powerful thing.
You’ve gotta want it from the bottom of your heart
You’ve gotta give it everything you’ve got.
You’ve gotta live it and never let it go
Live it so completely, body, mind and soul.
Faith is the candle that burns inside
It stands all alone in the face of the wind.
Love has the power to harness the stars
And take us to places we’ve never been.
Everyone walks through the fire
Everyone lives for a dream.
When all that you’ve got is desire
To believe is a powerful thing.
You’ve got to believe in yourself
Faith is the fire in my soul.
