Our song of the week is a spanking new single by amiable songstress, Tarila Gbesimi. It is a profound inspirational, reminding us that we can overcome whatever challenge life throws at us, only if we believe we can.
The song is inspired by the fact that in pursuing our goals and ideals, we most often start out passionate until “life happens“, then the zeal burns out and everything becomes a struggle or even come to a halt.
This inability to make headway can lead some to take their own lives. But the message in this song is that no matter how frustrating life gets, if you think you can beat your challenges, then you actually get up to work at it, there is no limit to what you can achieve.
‘“I Can” came as I was thinking about a few things, and I discovered that our moving on really doesn’t depend on anyone. People can encourage you and try to support you, but if you think you can’t do it, you will be there for years.
Also people might discourage and frustrate you, but if you think you can do it, then you stand up to do it… the sky is just your starting point. The song basically is to remind us that we can, if we think we can. Yes, it may not be easy, but step by step we’ll make it through if we know we can.”

Lyrics: “I can” by Tarila Gbesimi
It doesn’t matter what people say
As long as I believe I can
I can do it
It really doesn’t matter if they say
Yes or no
As long as I believe I can
I can be it
I can be what I wanna be
I can go where I wanna go
I can achieve what I wanna achieve
Yes I can and I will
There’s a champion inside of me
And I believe I can
(I can do the impossible…I can reach my goal oh)
So the next time I feel I can’t go on
The champion in me say
(I can do the impossible…I can reach my goal)
I can be what I wanna be
I can go where I wanna go
I can achieve what I wanna achieve
Yes I can and I will
Spread my wings and fly
Beyond the sky
Yes I can and I will
Yes I can yes I can
And I will and I will
Yes I can yes I can
And I will.
