Story Behind The Song

When I wrote this song, which was originally inspired by a song competition, I was thinking of my daughter and her boyfriend and how they turned what they love doing (sport climbing and designing/manufacturing climbing holds) into a full blown successful

Song Description

It's confident, it's cool, and it's a bit cheeky. This is an infectious, rock song that expresses the joy of success in achieving one's personal goals through focus, perseverence, and energy. It also expresses the attitude of not being defeated by mistake

Lyrics

We didn?t know how to start or even where to begin
Then you said let?s go right now
And there?s no better place than right here
And I knew right then you were right
It?s so obvious

We had a rough ride, yeah it wasn?t too cool at the start
Be we didn?t believe in fate
We work hard and we love what we do
And maybe we made some mistakes
We were oblivious

You gotta be great to be good
You gotta be good to be great
You better be better than good
We won?t stand to be second rate
And you ? You?re Great

Everything we did was for fun
That?s how we got to be as good as we are
We weren?t full of ourselves
We just knew
We were fabulous

You gotta be great to be good
You gotta be good to be great
You better be better than good
Don?t settle for second rate

Yeah, you gotta be good to great
You better be better than good
Don?t wanna fall victim to fate

And you . . . you do what you love
You?re great . . . it so obvious

You gotta be great to be good
You gotta be good to be great
You better be better than good
Don?t wanna be second rate

You gotta be great to be good
You gotta be gear to be great
You better be better than good
Don?t wanna be second rate

You?re Great!
