[Verse 1]
Missed the mark
Fell flat on my face
All my plans
Scattered out of place
Heart on the floor
Dust in my teeth
Staring at the ceiling
Counting every broken piece
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel a little fire
Kicking in my chest
Every time I say "it’s over"
It says "not yet"
[Chorus]
When I fall
I get back up again
Won’t stay down
That’s not how this ends
Every scar
Every cut
Teaches me to toughen up
When I fall
I get back up again
Try harder than I ever did
If I’m breathing
I’m still in the fight
I’ll keep swinging till I get it right
[Verse 2]
Friends fade out
When the road gets rough
Talking like
I was never enough
But I talk back
To the doubt in my head
"Watch me turn
Every ‘can’t’ into ‘yet’ instead"
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been bent
I’ve been broken
Still I rise and stand
Every time the world says "stay down"
I shake its hand and
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Knocked down seven
I stand on eight
Every setback
Sharpened my faith
[low vocal register] I’m tired
I’m aching
But I’m not done
[crescendo] I’m made for the climb
I was born to run
[Chorus]
