The Only Time You Fail

Sittin' here with coffee gettin' cold

Thinkin' about the dreams I used to hold

Plans don't always land the way you hope they will

But every stumble taught me somethin' real

Sometimes the road gets long and windin'

Sometimes you can't see where you're goin'

But dreams don't die, they just change shape

As long as you don't walk away

You only lose when you stop tryin'

When you let the doubters do the definin'

So I get back up, I find my way

The only time you fail is when you don't stay

Is when you don't stay

There be folks who say it can't be done

Who question every battle that you've won

Some will offer help but hope you fall

You gotta trust yourself through it all

Sometimes the road gets long and windin'

Sometimes you can't see where you're goin'

But dreams don't die, they just change shape

As long as you don't walk away

You only lose when you stop tryin'

When you let the doubters do the definin'

So I get back up, I find my way

The only time you fail is when you don't stay

Just because it's never been done before

Doesn't mean you can't be the one to open that door

The pioneers, they didn't follow the crowd

They wrote their own rules and they figured it out

So don't be afraid to try again

That's where the real story begins

Yeah, the road gets long and windin'

But I know now where I'm goin'

My dreams won't die, they're takin' shape

And I'm not gonna walk away

I won't lose 'cause I'll keep tryin'

Won't let the doubters do the definin'

I'll get back up, I'll find my way

The only time you fail is when you don't stay

So I'm gonna stay

Yeah, I'm gonna stay

I'm gonna stay
