Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.


Your grit is tested and you make it
The scars are real but you must shake it
If you're not ready, well then you fake it
Was it your fault? Then you must take it
 
(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander


You're taken to the edge but not over
Your limits pushed but not crossed over
You've passed the test and then moreover
You proved to all you're no pushover

(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander


There's a toll that has been taken
You've been rocked and greatly shaken
Your primal instincts are awakened
A pact with God will be forsaken

(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander


Your grit is tested and you make it
The scars are real but you must shake it
If you're not ready, well then you fake it
Was it your fault? Then you must take it
 
(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander


You're taken to the edge but not over
Your limits pushed but not crossed over
You've passed the test and then moreover
You proved to all you're no pushover

(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander


There's a toll that has been taken
You've been rocked and greatly shaken
Your primal instincts are awakened
A pact with God will be forsaken

(Chorus)
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
You gotta hold on a little longer
You dive right in don't stop to ponder
Now future chances you won't squander
