YOU CAN Believe that you canand you will not fail Though great the task begun. Believe that you can though hard the trail, And rugged the road you run. Have faith In yourself. Just know ' you can, And you're simply bound to do. And never a barrier, bar or ban, Can keep you from carrying through. We are Interested In English and find It most Interesting.
