Somebody told me You got to give it to get out I've learned the hard way, that's something I never doubt Life is what you make it It's all up to you so they say If you get knocked down seven times You just have to get up eight I'm not opening it the broken doors I'm not staring through the shattered windows I'm not falling through the open floors I won't fade like a dying rose Yeah it's so easy to just stay down and take a fall But there's honor and glory, And it's written so plain on the wall No there ain't no feeling Like the one that you get when you succeed If it feeds your spirit and shows you that faith, Is all you need I'm not opening it the broken doors I'm not staring through the shattered windows I'm not falling through the open floors I won't fade like a dying rose
