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
