Throwing in the towel, your hope expired
Everything seems lost, but you're still there
I see it in your face, your eyes are tired - why?
Time has been unkind, but don't despair - why?

You're still breathing
You're still standing
They can't knock you out I knock you out

Chorus:
Gonna be tough, gonna be hard
Gonna be a test, you'll come out scarred
Gonna take time, gonna take will
Baby, don't give up, 'cause you can make it still

Nothing that's worth having will be easy - why?
Everything that matters is gonna be a fight - why?
Stand your ground and
Put your gloves up
They won't hold you back I hold you back

Gonna be tough, gonna be hard
Gonna be a test, you'll come out scarred
Gonna take time, gonna take will
Baby, don't give up, 'cause you can make it still

Oh hohoh
Don't let anybody tell you to give up - you're a fighter!

Gonna be tough, gonna be hard
Gonna be a test, you'll come out scarred
Gonna take time, gonna take will
Baby, baby you can make it still

Gonna be tough, gonna be hard
Gonna be a test, you'll come out scarred
Gonna take time, gonna take will
Baby, don't give up, 'cause you can make it still.
