She moves to LA She wants to be somebody Three and a half years later she's still not anybody She's still hoping for a break while she's waiting tables Realizing some dreams are fables Fear grows when she knows that she's out of control Throwing up in the bathroom, hoping nobody knows And she fears she's a failure She forgets that God loves her You tried and you failed hold your head up high You climbed and you fell Hold your head up high You tried and you failed Hold your head up high Hold your head up, hold your head up high [Chorus:] Cause if we never make it ever Then it's gonna be okay with me Cause if it's not okay to fall sometimes It's not okay to be If they don't want us, it's okay, honest It doesn't have to bring me down Let them say we're not big rock starts It's not what we're about We don't' have to be rock starts We don't have to be rock starts They said he'd never make it Maybe they're right His parents never believed that his dream could take flight All he ever wanted was for them to be proud of him It was the whole world to him He needed to win He gave his everything but sometimes it's not enough He thinks he's a failure now, he's not worth being loved He forgets he had the courage to climb up so high The courage to try, the courage to fly [Chorus] It's not about success Life is not a test You don't pa** or fail you just do your best To see the view from wings of courage To push on through when we're discouraged It's all about the try all about the ride Learning how you were meant to touch the sky Failures are fliers who touch down Only they know what it's like to leave the ground [Chorus]
