Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I

Oh, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes

Well, oh, I got stamina

And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb

But I, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, I need another lover, be mine

'Cause I, I, I got stamina

[PreChorus]

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no, no, no

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no, no, no

[Chorus]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

The greatest, the greatest alive

[Verse 2]

Well, uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I

Oh, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, runnin' now, I close my eyes

But, oh, I got stamina

And oh, yeah, runnin' through the waves of love

But I, I got stamina

And oh, yeah, I'm runnin' and I've just enough

And uh-oh, I got stamina

[PreChorus]

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no, no, no

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no, no, no

[Chorus]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

The greatest, the greatest alive

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

[Verse 3]

Aye, I am the truth

Aye, I am the wisdom of the fallen, I'm the youth

Aye, I am the greatest, aye, this is the proof

Aye, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, aye

I transform with pressure, I'm hands-on with effort

I fell twice before, my bounce back was special

Letdowns'll get you, and the critics'll test you

But the strong'll survive, another scar may bless you, ah

[PreChorus]

Don't give up, I won't give up (No, no, no, no)

Don't give up, no, no, no (Nah)

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no, no, no

[Chorus]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no, no, no

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no, no, no

[Outro]

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina

The greatest, the greatest alive

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, I got stamina
