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 
 Yeah, gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need   
 Well, I've got a lot of sticks and stones 
 And a blade that will cut you to the bone 
 But you're doing what you love and it kills you 
 But you can live with that all night 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 
 Yeah, gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need   
 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
