Been down and out
Down for the count
Took the hardest round that life could bring
Stressing it, worrying
Crying 'bout every doggone thing
Back to the wall, slow to the crawl
Steady falling or so it seems
Life is hard, can leave a scar
But that don't mean it's gotta stay that way
We can let it break us down or we can turn it back around and only get strong

If we don't walk away
Stand on up and fight this thing
Don't run from the pain
Grit your teeth and take a swing
Sometimes we get saved by the bell
But those times when it don't go so well
You've gotta stand up and fight for it

Just so you know
You're not alone
The promise says you can do all things
It's up to you
What you gonna do
You can't lose if you've got his strength
To add to that
I've got your back
Better believe I'm down for the ride
Big or small - keep pressing on
And everything is gonna be alright
We can let it break us down or we can turn it back around and only get stronger

If we don't walk away
Stand on up and fight this thing
Don't run from the pain
Grit your teeth and take a swing
Sometimes we get saved by the bell
But those times when it don't go so well
You've gotta stand up and fight for it

We've got a right to be free
No matter how things may seem
There's a way out but sometimes it takes a fight
Keep your head up high
And your eyes on the prize
Don't let it pass you - don't let it pass you by

If we don't walk away
Stand on up and fight this thing
Don't run from the pain

Sometimes we get saved by the bell
But those times when it don't go so well
Sometimes we get saved by the bell
But those times when it don't go so well
You've gotta stand up and fight for it
You gotta stand up and fight for it
