Defying odds, I'm defying gravity
Rising above all the negativity
I've got a long list of things that they said I couldn't do
I didn't know I couldn't fly
Therefore I flew, so I scratch and claw
Chisel and chip with a heart-shaped hammer
And a good firm grip,
keep on swinging Climbing those charts,
sharing that soul
Till you're touching those hearts
We won't waste even one breath We
won't waste time being scared to death
So take that leap of faith Go shake your fear of flying
Cause if you don't believe,
then you won't So keep on losing until you don't
You know you get just what you give So live or die trying
You gotta work your hands to the bone
You keep your dreams to the grindstone
If it was easy,
there'd be nothing to it Daddy said if it was easy,
everyone would
do it I've had doors slammed in my face
I know well the taste of last place
You get back up,
fight,
and when you fall The worst thing you can do is do nothing at
all
You won't waste even one breath You
won't waste time being scared to death
So take that leap of faith Go shake your fear of flying
Cause if you don't believe,
then you won't So keep on losing until you don't
You know you get just what you give So live or die trying
Cause you know fame is just a name that's gonna fade away
Long to be forgotten once it's chiseled on your grave
Fortune's a frame of mind,
so don't sell your soul
There ain't no luggage rack when it comes your time to go
Say a prayer for the weary,
brokenhearted,
and the poor
Say a prayer for the rich and greedy,
always wanting more
Make a wish upon a star,
blow a kiss up to the moon
And live your life for those who got their wings too soon
You won't waste even one breath You
won't waste time being scared to death
So take that leap of faith Go shake your fear of flying
Cause if you don't believe,
then you won't So keep on losing until you don't
You know you get just what you give So live or die trying
You know you get just what you give So live or die trying
Defiant nods,
I'm defiant gravity Rising above all the negativity
I've got a long list of things they said I couldn't do
I didn't know I couldn't fly Therefore I flew
