she wants to be somebody

three and a half years later she's still not anybody

she's still hoping for a break while she's waiting tables

realizing some dreams are fables

fear grows when she knows that she's out of control

throwing up in the bathroom, hoping nobody knows

and she fears she's a failure

she forgets that God loves her

you tried and you failed

hold your head up high

you tried and you failed

hold your head up high

hold your head up, hold your head up high

[chorus...]

'cause if we never make it ever

then it's gonna be okay with me

'cause if it's not okay to fall sometimes

it's not okay to be

if they don't want us, it's okay, honest

it doesn't have to bring me down

let them say we're not big rock stars

it's not what we're about

we don't have to be rock stars

we don't have to be rock stars

they said he'd never make it

maybe they're right

his parents never believed that his dream could take flight

all he ever wanted was for them to be proud of him

it was the whole world to him

he needed to win

he gave his everything, but sometimes it's not enough

he thinks he's a failure now, he's not worth being loved

he forgets he had the courage to climb up so high

the courage to try, the courage to fly

[chorus]

it's not about success

life is not a test

you don't pass or fail you just do your best

to see the view from wings of courage

to push on through when we're discouraged

it's all about the try, all about the ride

learning how you were meant to touch the sky

failures are fliers who touch down

only they know what it's like to leave the ground

[chorus]
