Verse:
She moves to L.A.
She wants to be somebody
Three and a half years later she's still not anybody
She's still hoping for a break while she's waiting tables
Realizing some dreams are fables
Fear grows when she nows that sh'es out of control
Throwing up in the bathroom, hope nobody knows
And she fears that she's a failure
She forgets that God loves her
Tap:
You tried and you failed
Hold your head up high
You climbed and you fell
Hold your head up high
You tried and you failed
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Chorus:
Cause if we never make it ever
Then it's gonna be okay with me
Cause if it's not okay to fall sometimes
It's not okay to be
If they don't want us, it's okay, honest
It doesn't have to bring me down
Let them say we're not big rock stars
It's not what we're about
We don't have to be rock stars
We don't have to be rock stars
Verse:
They said he'd never make it
Maybe they're right
His parents never believed that his dream could take flight
All he ever wanted was for them to be proud of him
It was the whole world to him
He needed to win
He gave his everything, but sometimes it's not enough
He thinks he's a failure now, he's not worth being loved
He forgets he had the courage to climb up so high
The courage to try, the courage to fly
Tab
Chorus
Bridge:
It's not about success
Life is not a test
You don't pass or fail you just do your best
To see the view from wings of courage
To push on through when we're discouraged
It's all about the try, all about the ride
Learning how you were meant to touch the sky
Failures are fliers who touch down
Only they know what it's like to leave the ground
Chorus
We don't have to be rock stars
We don't have to be rock stars
