So your back's backed up against the wall
And the bandwagon's fallin' right off
And your hearin' all the talk about
"Maybe you should think about what you're gonna do if it don't work out"
It ain't about if it makes sense
'Cause if the boot do, it don't fit
As far as I can see, there ain't no way to be
Somebody if you're just 'gon quit
So, if you got a fire, don't lose it
If you got a do-or-die dream, do it
If you got something to prove, go on and prove it
Don't let nobody clip your wings
Keep your head down, keep on the blinders
Tune out the doubters and all the closed minders
If it's in your blood
Fallin' down ain't enough to change who you were born to be
Gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need
Well life's got a lot of sticks and stones
And a blade that'll cut you to the bone
But if you're doing what you love and it kills you
Well, you can live with that all day long
So, if you got a fire, don't lose it
If you got a do-or-die dream, do it
If you got something to prove, go on and prove it
Don't let nobody clip your wings
Keep your head down, keep on the blinders
Tune out the doubters and all the closed minders
If it's in your blood
Fallin' down ain't enough to change who you were born to be
Gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need
So if you got a fire, don't lose it
If you got a do-or-die dream, do it
If you got something to prove, go on and prove it
Don't let nobody clip your wings
Keep your head down, keep on the blinders
Tune out the doubters and all the closed minders
If it's in your blood
Fallin' down ain't enough to change who you were born to be
Gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need
Yeah, gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need
