I know the taste of my tears
When they run down my face, yeah
Reminds me of all of the years
And the dreams I've been chasing
Fueling the fire inside
So the fears I can face 'em
'Cause mama never told me nothing
'Bout being complacent

So you can knock me down
But I won't stay on the ground

Can't stop believing I'm the greatest
Hearts breaking till I know I made it
I'll never know what second place is
No pain, no doubt
Till the lights go out

Just a little more
Makes it worth it all
When I hear the call
Will I rise or fall
I know all my roads
Lead to something gold
So I will walk them all
I will walk them all

You can knock me down
But I won't stay on the ground

Can't stop believing I'm the greatest
Hearts breaking till I know I made it
I'll never know what second place is
No pain, no doubt
Till the lights go out
Till the lights go out
Yeah-yeah, yeah
(Yeah)

Some days it feels like I don't wanna go any farther
The only way I know to keep on is to keep pushing harder

Can't stop believing I'm the greatest
Hearts breaking till I know I made it
I'll never know what second place is
No pain, no doubt
Till the lights go out

Can't stop believing I'm the greatest
Hearts breaking till I know I made it
I'll never know what second place is
No pain, no doubt
Till the lights go out
