What It Takes To Win Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day has come
You are prepared
Electricity in the air
Feel the calm
Feel the rush
You want to leave victorious
Will you look in their eyes
They want you gone, they want the prize
When day is done, risk it all
One will stand, and one will fall

[Chorus]
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win

[Verse 2]
Seal the deal
Get it done
Earn the right to say you have won
Work it out
Sacrifice
Someone's going to have to pay the price
Face to face
Stand your ground
Stay in the zone, now do not back down
More than pride
You depend
Fighting hard 'til the very end
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
When you share the dream
There's no "I" in team
Let the spirit take you higher
It's a state of mind
No one can define
There's no limit to desire
[Chorus]
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win

[Outro]
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Because you know what it takes
What it takes to win[x3]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
