Girl get up and put it on
Be who I need to be to get it done
Dress it up, steady on
I'm so tired
I'm adding up all the years
I wasted telling you what you want to hear
I let you tell me who I am
I didn't fight it
The time has come to reconcile
That I may not reach the mountain top
Will the journey be enough?
How long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna feel like a champion
Do we grow up or just get older
I keep looking over my shoulder
Father time is chasing me
I can't see to get where I wanna be
I'm no super hero but I assume the position
And repeat my affirmations
Handle my situation
But how long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna feel like a champion
Oh oh oh I'm just being honest
This is where I'm at
I feel the weight of the world on my back
I'm all out of answers
I've laid down my shield
This is all of me revealed
How long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna be
I just wanna be a champion
