[Verse 1] Defying odds, Im defying gravity Rising above all the negativity Ive got a long list of things that they said I couldnt do I didnt know I couldnt fly therefore I flew So, I scratch and claw, chisel and chip With a heartshaped hammer and a good firm grip Keep on swinging, climbing those charts Sharing that soul til youre touching those hearts [Chorus] I dont wanna waste even one breath Dont wanna waste time being scared to death So take that leap of faith Go and shake your fear of flying Cause if you dont believe then you wont So keep on losing until you dont You know you get just what you give so Live or die trying [Verse 2] You gotta work your hands to the bone And keep your dreams to the grindstone If it was easy thered be nothing to it Daddy said if it was easy everyone would do it Ive had doors slammed in my face I know well the taste of last place You get back up fighting when you fall The worst thing you can do is do nothing at all [Chorus] I dont wanna waste even one breath Dont wanna waste time being scared to death So take that leap of faith Go and shake your fear of flying Cause if you dont believe then you wont So keep on losing until you dont You know you get just what you give so Live or die trying [Verse 3] Cause you know fame is just a name thats gonna fade away Long to be forgotten once its chiseled on your grave Fortune is a frame of mind so dont sell your soul There aint no luggage rack when it comes your time to go Say a prayer for the weary, brokenhearted and the poor Say a prayer for the rich and greedy always wanting more Make a wish upon a star, blow a kiss up to the moon And live your life for those who got their wings too soon [Chorus] I dont wanna waste even one breath Dont wanna waste time being scared to death So take that leap of faith Go and shake your fear of flying If you dont believe then you wont So keep on losing until you dont You know you get just what you give so Live or die trying You know you get just what you give so Live or die trying [Outro] Defying odds, Im defying gravity Rising above all the negativity Ive got a long list of things they said I couldnt do I didnt know I couldnt fly, therefore I flew
