[Intro]: (John F. Kennedy) To a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights.
[Verse 1]: If I could, be perfect, without a flaw or blameless Then would you, still doubt me, if that’s the case I’m hopeless All I ever wanted from you was Not to be underrated I swear I just begun Not afraid to make mistakes and this won’t be my last one.
[Pre-Chorus]: The people who said I don’t have what it takes, Look at me now!
[Chorus]: I just needed one more chance to prove That I figured it out and all the things I’ve learned, Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
[Verse 2]: To give in, and give up and compromise is painless To dig in and bite down despite the hurt is fearless All I ever wanted from you was Not to be underrated I swear I just begun Not afraid to make mistakes and this won’t be the last one.
[Pre-Chorus]: I thank all the people that help me get by. Look at me now
[Chorus]: I just needed one more chance to prove That I figured it out and all the things I’ve learned, Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
[Bridge]: And I have never worked so hard And I have never been this far away I’m so close I can reach out and grab it This life is short so I'll take my chances.
[Chorus]: I just needed one more chance to prove That I figured it out and all the things I’ve learned, Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
