Live Or Die Trying

Defying odds, I'm defying 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

So I scratch and claw, chisel and chip

With a heart-shaped hammer and good firm grip

Keep on swinging, climbing those charts

Sharing that soul till you're touching those hearts

Don't wanna waste even one breath

Don't wanna waste time being scared to death

So take that leap of faith

Go and shake your fear of flying

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

And 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 fighting when you fall

The worst thing you can do is do nothing at all

Don't wanna waste even one breath

Don't wanna waste time being scared to death

So take that leap of faith

Go and 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, broken-hearted 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

Don't wanna waste even one breath

Don't wanna waste time being scared to death

So take that leap of faith

Go and 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

Defying odds, I'm defying 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
