Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.


Nothing in this world
Is given to you
The road is winding
The end's never in view

You pick yourself up
When you get knocked down
And then the next time
Is just another round

If it were easy
The whole world would do it
Overnight success
Takes you years to do it

(Chorus)
You either make it
Or you die trying
You really want it
There's no denying
It takes commitment
There is no lying
You either make it
Or you die trying


To reach your end goal
Takes focused dedication
There are no shortcuts
There's never a vacation

If you want it bad
Then make the sacrifices
There’s no hesitation
You have to be decisive

When you reach the top
It's rewarding validation
For all of your hard work
And the years of frustration

(Chorus)
You either make it
Or you die trying
You really want it
There's no denying
It takes commitment
There is no lying
You either make it
Or you die trying


Nothing in this world
Is given to you
The road is winding
The end's never in view

You pick yourself up
When you get knocked down
And then the next time
Is just another round

If it were easy
The whole world would do it
Overnight success
Takes you years to do it

(Chorus)
You either make it
Or you die trying
You really want it
There's no denying
It takes commitment
There is no lying
You either make it
Or you die trying


To reach your end goal
Takes focused dedication
There are no shortcuts
There's never a vacation

If you want it bad
Then make the sacrifices
There’s no hesitation
You have to be decisive

When you reach the top
It's rewarding validation
For all of your hard work
And the years of frustration

(Chorus)
You either make it
Or you die trying
You really want it
There's no denying
It takes commitment
There is no lying
You either make it
Or you die trying
