[Verse 1]
So, this was not how you planned it
No, oh you don't understand it
Why, is it so misleading?
When all you really wanted became so defeating
Time, well it only got harder
Thought you had one but it was another
Then, you believed in a breakthrough
But it took you by surprise when you came out a fool

[Chorus]
You gotta fail a thousand times before you see it through
You gotta spend your last dime before you ever make a million
You gotta know what brought you here and you gotta lose to persevere
But it's the way the sun will rise through the darkest night
Yeah it's always been worth the fight

[Verse 2]
Hope, it can make you courageous
It started out small, but now it's contagious
Strength, it's an honor you earn
When you look back and see all the lessons you've learned

[Chorus]
You gotta fail a thousand times before you see it through
You gotta spend your last dime before you ever make a million
You gotta know what brought you here and you gotta lose to persevere
But it's the way the sun will rise through the darkest night
Yeah it's always been worth the fight
You gotta fail a thousand times before you see it through
You gotta spend your last dime before you ever make a million
You gotta know what brought you here and you gotta lose to persevere
But it's the way the sun will rise through the darkest night
Yeah it's always been worth the fight
