[Intro]
(Yeah!)
Start line
Heart wide
Deep breath
Big sky
[Verse 1]
Alarm screams
I swing my feet
Cold floor
Same old defeat
Mirror says "you’re not enough"
I clench my fist
I call that bluff
Late train
Pages in my hand
Dreams scribbled in the margins
Rough plans
Every bruise
Every quiet doubt
Fuel for the fire I’m dragging out
[Chorus]
I will never stay down
I’ll get up one more time
If the world shouts "fall"
I’ll answer back "I’ll climb"
Every scar on my skin
Is a vow that I’ll win somehow
Knock me over again
I will never
I will never stay down
[Verse 2]
They laugh
Say "kid
Just play it safe"
Same cage
Different kind of chain
But I’ve seen sparks inside the rain
Turn to storms that carve their name
I miss shots
Yeah
I miss a lot
But I’m aiming higher than their talk
"Too small
Too slow"
I hear that choir
I turn their chorus into my fire (hey!)
[Chorus]
I will never stay down
I’ll get up one more time
If the world shouts "fall"
I’ll answer back "I’ll climb"
Every scar on my skin
Is a vow that I’ll win somehow
Knock me over again
I will never
I will never stay down
[Bridge]
[Drums drop out
Clean guitar arpeggios]
Quiet now
Just the beat in my chest
Every fear
Every tear I suppressed
If I crawl
If I break
If I bend
I still move
Every inch is a step
Somewhere
The kid I used to be
Is watching
Asking
"will you fight for me?"
So I stand
Shaking
But I stand
[Build]
[Guitar swells
Toms roll back in]
One breath
One shout
Right here
Right now (woah)
[Chorus]
I will never stay down
I’ll get up one more time
If the world shouts "fall"
I’ll answer back "I’ll climb"
Every scar on my skin
Is a vow that I’ll win somehow
Knock me over again
I will never
I will never stay down
[Chorus]
I will never stay down
I am stronger every time
If I crash and burn
I’ll rise up through the light
Every doubt in my head
I’m drowning in this roar right now
Knock me over again
I will never
I will never stay down (yeah!)
I will never stay down
