Step by step we go on
Dragging over pebbles and stones
Bit by bit we move on
To our own defeat 
In pairs or alone

Two steps forward, one back

And we stall
Stumble and fall
We never will crawl, we're standing tall
We stall
Stumble and fall
But we will not crawl, standing tall

Standing tall (standing tall)

We stall
Stumble and fall
But we will not crawl
Standing tall

Fight by fight we take on
No reason at all
Justifying the cost
Loss by loss we condone
Generous still
When everything's lost

Two steps forward, one back

And we stall
Stumble and fall
We never will crawl, we're standing tall
We stall, stumble and fall
But we will not crawl, standing tall
And we stall
Stumble and fall
We never will crawl, we're standing tall

(Fight by fight we take on)

(Fight by fight we take on)

We stall, stumble and fall
But we never will crawl, we're standing tall
And we stall
Stumble and fall
We never will crawl, we're standing tall

Standing tall

And we stall
Stumble and fall
We never will crawl, we're standing tall
We stall
Stumble and fall
But we never will crawl, standing tall

Standing tall (standing tall)

We stall
Stumble and fall
But we will not crawl
Standing tall
