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'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 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

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
