[Verse 1]
Why can’t I get there
When I’m clawing like I’m the only one
Knees on gravel
Hands all burned from holding on
I fail
I fall
Spit a word I wish I didn’t say
I stall on the sidewalk
Then drag my doubts the other way
[Chorus]
I get beat
Get up
Show up (show up)
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
Same road
Same hole
I trip
But I’m still moving on
I don’t know when it changes
Or where I belong
But I get beat
Get up
Show up
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
[Verse 2]
Every start feels borrowed
Like I’ve spent all my second tries
Turn around at the gate
Talking circles
Feeding lies
Still I lace my shoes
Though my chest feels made of stone
Tell myself
“step closer”
Even scared
I’m not alone
[Chorus]
I get beat
Get up
Show up (yeah)
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
Same road
Same hole
I trip
But I’m still moving on
Maybe this is the victory
Hurting and staying strong
I get beat
Get up
Show up
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
[Bridge]
What if “there” is here
In the trying
In the tears I hide
What if every time I stand
Is the finish line inside
I don’t see the banner
I don’t hear a perfect song
But my bruised feet keep on choosing
One more step along
[Chorus]
I get beat
Get up
Show up (oh-oh)
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
Heart cracked
Hands shaking
Still I’m moving on
Maybe I’m already changing
Just by staying this strong
I get beat
Get up
Show up
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
(I get beat, get up, show up)
Lift up
Smile
Walk on
