Dare to Differ Lyrics by Soul II Soul

Time for Change

1997

Do you dare (Aww yeah)
Do you dare (By any means necessary)
Do you dare
Chorus
Dare to differ
Dare to be different
Change the rules
Become the leader of your own new school
Have a mind of your own (A mind)
Or be somebody else's fool
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
Know the power lies inside of you (Check the strategy by any means necessary)
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to (Just take a chance)
Why do we always fall in line
Walking to the beat of another man's time
Why do we hesitate to shine
I wanna know (Why?)
Why do we always wait to see
Rather than act instinctively
We move as though our minds aren't free
I wanna know (Why?)
Chorus
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
Know the power lies inside of you (Check the strategy by any means necessary)
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to (Check the strategy by any means necessary)
Why is it so easy to say oh no, it wasn't me
Well who said modesty's the key
I wanna know (Why?)
Why do we always seem to scorn those who try to break the norm
Criticize but were afraid to take the bull by the horns
Dare to differ
Dare to be different
Change the rules
Become the leader of your own new school
Listen, have a mind of your own (A mind)
Or be somebody else's fool
Do if you dare (Do you dare?) (Do if you dare)
Know the power lies inside of you (Check the strategy by any means necessary)
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to (This is our time)
When we will see (When?) that progress is the key
It's about that time now
Make a change
Our confidence will keep us growing strong
Don't be afraid, just shout it out loud
Why do we suffer so much pain
When there's so much more for all of us to gain
Forget your wallets man, just use your brain
You know I'm saying?
When will we all finally learn that we deserve exactly what we earn
There ain't no shame, just show your pride to or concern
Come on
Dare to differ
Dare to be different
Change the rules
Become the leader of your own new school
Listen, have a mind of your own
Or you gonna be somebody else's fool
Do if you dare (And only if you dare) (Do if you dare)
Know the power lies inside of you (Or check the strategy by any means necessary)
Come on
Do if you dare (I can read the writing on the wall) (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to
Just dare to differ
Dare to be different
Change the rules (Do if you dare) (Do if you dare)
Aww yeah (Know the power lies inside of you)
Check the strategy by any means necessary
Do if you dare (Do you and you and you and you really dare?) (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to (Check the strategy by any means necessary) (Everything is possible)
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
Know the power lies inside of you (Check the strategy by any means necessary)
Do if you dare (Do if you dare)
You can do all that you wanted to (Check if the strategy by any means necessary)
Do if you dare...
