Standing Tough

"Standing Tough" is a song from The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving. It is song by the character, Topsy, to reinforce on the other residents of the Great Valley their need to be "tough", in order to survive the recent shortage of water in the valley.

Lyrics
Topsy There is no fair,

when it comes to survival.

When life is tough

You gotta be tougher

If you wanna stay alive

When the trail gets rough

You gotta get rougher

To help your family survive

You can run around in circles

Wondering what to do

Someone's gotta be the voice of reason

Is it you, or you, or you?

When things around us are going bad

We all better be strong

We could lose everything we have

If this goes far too long

Don't stand around here talking!

I say that's not enough

No tears, no sighs

Don't close your eyes

We gotta stand tough

I used to hear my father say

"Stand and fight, don't run away"

He made me what I am today

I'm here

And I'm tough

When times are hard

You better be harder

You don't know what's in store

You think you're smart?

You gotta be smarter than you ever were before

You say I'm mean

You say why bother?

Well, I have a daughter

And I'm her father

I'm gonna make sure

We all have water enough

That's why I'm tough

I'm standing tough!

We've got to stand tough

You don't like it?

Tough...
