Win or Lose

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They drew a line across the floor Said, "Know your place and ask for more" I felt the room turn cold and small But I was never built to crawl [Pre-Chorus] Let the weight come down Let the warning ring I have counted what it costs I still choose everything [Chorus] Win or lose, take a stand Plant your feet and show your hands If the ground gives way below Be the last one saying no Win or lose, hold your ground Make your answer loud and sound They can take the easy road I will carry what I chose [Verse 2] There’s a crack along the old front step From every promise we have kept Your photograph beside the door Reminds me what I’m fighting for [Pre-Chorus] Let the doubt speak first Let the high walls rise I can meet the longest night With my eyes open wide [Chorus] Win or lose, take a stand Plant your feet and show your hands If the ground gives way below Be the last one saying no Win or lose, hold your ground Make your answer loud and sound They can take the easy road I will carry what I chose [Bridge] No crown, no guarantee No promise they will understand Just one clear truth inside of me: I won’t surrender who I am [Final Chorus] Win or lose, take a stand Plant your feet and show your hands If the ground gives way below Be the last one saying no Win or lose, hold your ground Make your answer loud and sound When the final cards are shown I will face them on my own [Outro] Win or lose I take a stand Win or lose I know who I am
