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 knows that she's out of control
Throwing up in the bathroom, hoping that nobody knows
And she feels she's a failure
She forgets that God loves her

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

So if we never make it ever
Then it's gonna be okay with me
'Cos 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 rockstars
It's not what we're about

We don't have to be rockstars
We don't have to be rockstars

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 it his everything but sometimes it's not enough
He think's 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

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

So if we never make it ever
Then it's gonna be okay 
'Cos 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 rockstars
It's not what we're about

We don't have to be rockstars
We don't have to be rockstars

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

So if we never make it ever
Then it's gonna be okay with me
'Cos 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 rockstars
It's not what we're about

We don't have to be rockstars
We don't have to be rockstars
We don't have to be rockstars
We don't have to be rockstars
