My face is more familiar With the street Than the sky above My knees are covered in scars From the years Of tumbling People say that the absence Makes the heart Grow fonder I wonder But hey I'm challenging my faith Although it's the champion And I'm new to the game But I'll bounce back I will knock it out Oh I fall down sometimes 1 2 3 4 times I get up again and fall 5 6 7 8 9 I fall down sometimes 1 2 3 4 times I get up again and fall 5 6 7 8 9 I am on my way I will bend not break I'll be the stone that makes the river wanna change his ways I am on my way I'll get up again I will fall down nine times But I'll get up 10 My body only grows stronger From the weight That I'm carrying I hold my head even higher The more they try To pull me down But hey I'm challenging my faith Although it's the champion And I'm new to the game But I'll bounce back I will knock it out Oh I fall down sometimes 1 2 3 4 times I get up again and fall 5 6 7 8 9 I fall down sometimes 1 2 3 4 times I get up again and fall 5 6 7 8 9 I am on my way I will bend not break I'll be the stone that makes the river wanna change his way I am on my way I'll get up again I will fall down nine times But I'll get up 10 I'm on my way Oh I fall down sometimes 1 2 3 4 times But I'll get up 10
