Every day climbing to the top
Working hard to finally make it up
People always try to keep you down
Just when you think success is coming 'round
That's when you need a helping hand
To get you to a better circumstance

No one seems to be on your side
Things are weighing heavy on your mind
What's standing in your way (In your way)
The things that people say
Face what you gotta face
If nothing's gonna get you, nothing's gonna get you
Nothing's gonna get you down, down, down

You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't you ever give it up

Climbing higher every step you take
Working hard's the only real way
Just remember, keep your head on straight
Don't slip and throw it all away
What's standing in your way (In your way)
The things that people say
Face what you gotta face
If nothing's gonna get you, nothing's gonna get you
Nothing's gonna get you down, down, down

You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't you ever give it up
You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't you ever give it up

Keep your eyes on the road
Down to the finish line
There's obstacles ahead
Just keep it all in sight
Things are going tough
I ain't going for the ride

You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't you ever give it up
You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't throw it all away
Don't you ever give it up
You're a winner
If you're gonna make it to the top
You're a winner
Don't you ever give it up
