I've been knocked out, I've been beaten down
I tasted my blood laying on the ground
I felt so fucking alone. Pain was my only friend
Worn out, on my knees
I looked for a helping hand
My body said, it's better to give up
But my heart said, this is not the time to stop
This is not the time
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
"Going in one more round
when you don't think you can
That's what makes all the difference in life“
Yes, I remember, what rocky said:
"It ain't about how hard you hit
It's about how hard you can get hit
Yes How much you can take, How much you can take
And keep moving forward“
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
It's not over till it's over
It's not over now
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
Stand up, Stand up
Defeat is not an option
