If I stand or if I fall
I'm still giving it my all
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
It's not the critic who counts
Who's shooting their mouth
When the strong man stumbles
It's not about all the noise
Or the fingers that point
At the man with the ball when he fumbles
They say it's too tough, telling you to give it up
Never showing any love
They could never make the cut
So get out of the way of those making the plays
When they say get ready to rumble
Get ready to, ready to rumble
So let them talk from the cheap seats
We're the ones making hearts beat
If you're winning or losing
Raise your hand, raise your hand
If I stand or if I fall
I'm still giving it my all
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
Everything that they said
Tryna get in your head
Use it all just to fuel your hunger
There'll be sweat in your eyes, but you're still gonna rise
Getting back up only makes you stronger
With dedication, with determination
Put it all together, it's a deadly combination
So feel the ground shake
Feel the earth quake
Following the footsteps only giants make
Only giants make, yeah (Let's go)
So let them talk from the cheap seats
We're the ones making hearts beat
If you're winning or losing
Raise your hand, raise your hand
If I stand or if I fall
I'm still giving it my all
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
And the critics, they may laugh from the comfort of their couch
And the whole world says you're wrong, but they're mistaken
If you've got the guts to fight
The glory is waiting for the ones that step inside the ring
So let them talk from the cheap seats
We're the ones making hearts beat
If you're winning or losing
Raise your hand, raise your hand
If I stand or if I fall
I'm still giving it my all
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the arena
I'm a blood sweat tears believer
I'm the man in the, in the arena
In the arena
The man in the arena
In the arena
