You’ve gotta pick yourself up by the bootstraps No one’s gonna help you out when you fall You’ve gotta find a way out of your problems When you’re broke and you’re backed up against the wall If you sleep on your only chances They’ll never come around again So dig deep and swing for the fences You never know it might work out in the end
Come join the fight So we can change the way we’re living What’s left inside? If you believe Believe you’ll never give in Come join the fight Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it Hold onto those dreams They’re the one thing they can’t take away now
I was young and I wouldn’t hear it You had opinions I had mine too Just a kid with all the answers A pompous pride and not one clue It’s getting late now shadow’s falling As the sun sets on my time There’s always something there to remind me I try to keep up and still fall behind
Come join the fight So we can change the way we’re living What’s left inside? If you believe Believe you’ll never give in Come join the fight Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it Hold onto those dreams They’re the one thing they can’t take away now
What’s left inside? If you believe Believe you’ll never give in
I was young and I wouldn’t hear it You had opinions I had mine too Just a kid with all the answers A pompous pride and not one clue
Come join the fight So we can change the way we’re living What’s left inside? If you believe Believe you’ll never give in Come join the fight Turn away and you’ll be sure to lose it Hold onto those dreams They’re the one thing they can’t take away now
