I've been knocked down so many times
I've been held up, but that's a lie
When they said I wasn't good enough (Good enough)
I held my head up high and gave 'em love
Call me basic, basic
Well, I'll take it, take it
I won't prove myself, face it
You can't put out this fire
'Cause my power is patience
And when I'm done with waitin'
I will mount up like eagles
Baby, watch me, I'll fly
Don't give up, keep that faith
Don't give up, keep that faith
