You only believe what everyone hears
Alone with your dreams you still share all their fears
And when they put you down when they mess you around
You get fooled into thinking their way
But there's something within you and nobody else
And if you could just begin to believe in yourself
If you weren't so afraid to fall then you could show them all
You could rule over all you survey
But how do you know whether you can do it if you don't try?
And when everyone says that you're awesome remember one day you'll hear them
Picking their way through the flotsam and jetsam of your career
But don't let that put you off Don't think you've had enough
Hold on to that you hold dear
How do you know whether you can do it if you don't try?
Called to the mark let the battle begin
You can take part but you'll never win
If you don't try
How do you know whether you can do it if you don't try?
