Whatever it takes

Whatever It Takes

Verse 1

I've heard them say I'm dreaming

I've heard them say I'm wrong

I've watched the doors close in my face

And still kept moving on

I've stumbled over every step

I've fallen more than once

But every time I hit the ground

I get back up because

Pre-Chorus

There's something in the spotlight

That keeps calling out my name

And even when I'm terrified

I run straight toward the flame

Chorus

You can push me down,

Make me fall,

Lose my grip,

And make me cry.

But I'm still gonna come right back,

And stand back up.

I'll do whatever it takes...

'Cause I love being on the stage!

Whatever it takes!

I love when people see my name!

Whatever it takes...

Verse 2

I've cried behind the curtains

I've smiled through shaky hands

I've watched somebody else get everything

I thought I had a chance

But jealousy won't stop me

And failure won't decide

If I belong beneath those lights

I'll prove it every night

Pre-Chorus

'Cause there's something in the spotlight

That makes all the bruises fade

And if the world keeps saying "give up"

I'll make them watch me stay

Chorus

You can push me down,

Make me fall,

Lose my grip,

And make me cry.

But I'm still gonna come right back,

And stand back up.

I'll do whatever it takes...

'Cause I love being on the stage!

Whatever it takes!

I love when people see my name!

Whatever it takes...

Bridge

Let me fall.

Let me break.

Let me make every mistake.

I'll crawl back through the wreckage

With my hands against the stage.

You can take away the applause,

You can tell me I'm not enough,

But the second those lights come on

I'll remember who I was.

Final Chorus

You can push me down,

Make me fall,

Lose my grip,

And make me cry.

But I'm still gonna come right back,

And stand back up.

I'll do whatever it takes...

'Cause I love being on the stage!

Whatever it takes!

I love when people see my name!

Whatever it takes...

Outro

Whatever it takes...

Whatever it takes...

I'll be right here when the curtain breaks.

Whatever it takes.
