They Said It Could Not Be Done |
| They said that it could not be done, he said just let me try. |
| They said, "Other men have tried and failed," and he answered, "But not I." |
| They said, "It is impossible," he said, "There is no such word." |
| He closed his mind, he closed his heart to everything he heard. |
|
| He said, "Within the heart of man, there is a tiny seed. |
| It grows until it blossoms, it's called the will to succeed. |
| Its roots are strength, its stem is hope, its petals inspiration, |
| Its thorns protect its strong green leaves, its grim determination. |
|
| "Its stamens are its skills which help to shape each plan, |
| For there's nothing in the universe beyond the scope of man." |
| They thought that it could not be done, some even said they knew it, |
| But he faced up to what could not be done, and he couldn't bloody do it! |
