[Intro:]
(John F. Kennedy)
To a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights.
[Verse 1:]
If I could, be perfect, without a flaw or blameless
Then would you, still doubt me, if that's the case I'm hopeless
All I ever wanted from you was
Not to be underrated I swear I just begun
Not afraid to make mistakes and this won't be my last one.
[Pre-Chorus:]
The people who said I don't have what it takes, Look at me now!
[Chorus:]
I just needed one more chance to prove
That I figured it out and all the things I've learned,
Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
[Verse 2:]
To give in, and give up and compromise is painless
To dig in and bite down despite the hurt is fearless
All I ever wanted from you was
Not to be underrated I swear I just begun
Not afraid to make mistakes and this won't be the last one.
[Pre-Chorus:]
The people who said I don't have what it takes, Look at me now!
[Chorus:]
I just needed one more chance to prove
That I figured it out and all the things I've learned,
Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
[Bridge:]
And I have never worked so hard
And I have never been this far away
I'm so close I can reach out and grab it
This life is short so I'll take my chances.
[Chorus:]
I just needed one more chance to prove
That I figured it out and all the things I've learned,
Made me stronger and immune, what can I say about what I've been through.
