take the knife out of my back
kicked the dust off my boots
This is the moment of truth
I'm getting out of this darkness
Every little bit, just a step at a time
Man, I hope they all see that
So I'll fight a little bit harder
And I'll stand a little bit taller
I'll prove myself just a little at a time
That I can still soar higher
And I'll love a little bit longer
And I'll shine a little bit brighter
Well, I ain't backin' down,
Well, you can shove me up
and try to cry in my mouth
Cast me aside, try to forget about me
It's just a step every day
It's all that matters anyway
And getting back up again
And so I'll fight a little bit harder
And I'll stand a little bit taller
Well I'll prove myself just a little at a time
But I can still soar higher
And I'll love a little bit longer
And I'll shine a little bit brighter
Well, I ain't backin' down,
I guess I'm just comin' back
Well, I'm goin' downswingin',
Cause this ain't over yet
And so I'll fight a little bit harder
And I'll stand a little bit taller
I'll prove myself just a little at a time
That I can still soar higher
And I'll love a little bit longer
And I'll shine a little bit brighter
Well, I ain't backing down
