BONNIE TYLER – Yes I Can (2025)

Curse that fear that blinds youThe faith shakes loose and it reminds youYou’re still here todayI wanna hear you say“Yes I canI was born a fighterHope is like a tigerYou just watch me go“ Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler’s song “Yes I Can” is a powerful and inspirational track released in 2004 as part of the compilation album “Simply Believe”, which marked her return to recording after a few years of relative quiet. The song was written by Paul D. Fitzgerald, with Bonnie’s characteristic raspy voice giving it emotional weight and conviction.

“Yes I Can” is a motivational anthem about resilience, self-empowerment, and overcoming adversity. The lyrics focus on inner strength, refusing to give up, and believing in oneself no matter the circumstances. It resonates with listeners facing personal challenges or trying to reclaim their confidence.

“I’m never gonna run and hide / I’m gonna take it in my stride / And I won’t give up, no I won’t give in / Yes I can, yes I will, yes I can…” This refrain emphasizes a positive affirmation, reinforcing the idea that courage and determination can carry one through hardship.

One day when you wake up Your whole life is breaking up Your whole world is cracked There ain’t no going back

You curse that fear that blinds you Faith shakes loose inside you And in the dark you find That little voice inside

Says, “Yes I can I was born a fighter Hope is like a tiger You just watch me go”

Yes I can I’m in this to win it Never gonna give in You just watch me go (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Yes I can Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh

I’ve been a heartbreak soldier Run or fight, I’ve thought it over The choice was hard to make I stared it in the face

Curse that fear that blinds you The faith shakes loose and it reminds you You’re still here today I wanna hear you say

Says, “Yes I can I was born a fighter Hope is like a tiger You just watch me go”

Yes I can I’m in this to win it Never gonna give in You just watch me go (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Yes I can I was born a fighter Hope is like a tiger You just watch me go (oh-oh, oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Yes I can I’m in this to win it Never gonna give in You just watch me go (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Yes I can Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh Yes I can
