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 pass 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]
