Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown I've had this image in my head Since I was just a little kid lost in daydreams Rusting out from all the sweat But I can see myself for the first time so clearly Oh, I feel it Oh, break through the ceiling Oh, I need it I won't stop 'cause I remember that feeling All those nights alone I faced my fears in the mirror I found my way to show Who I am, won't disappear The scars from the fights that came through the years Are constant reminders of what got me here All those nights alone They were the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown ♪ Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown It's hard to count the times I've bled I never told myself that greatness comes easy Others break, but I won't bend It took the pain I see for the first time so clearly Oh, I feel it Oh, break through the ceiling Oh, I need it I won't stop 'cause I remember that feeling All those nights alone I faced my fears in the mirror I found my way to show Who I am, won't disappear The scars from the fights that came through the years Are constant reminders of what got me here All those nights alone They were the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown ♪ Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown ♪ Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown Sometimes we fall, sometimes we break Sometimes we're lost in all our mistakes ♪ All those nights alone I faced my fears in the mirror I found my way to show Who I am, won't disappear The scars from the fights that came through the years Are constant reminders of what got me here All those nights alone They were the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown ♪ Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown ♪ Sh-sh-shakedown It's the start of something great now Here comes the shakedown
