[Verse 1] You wake with the ache You lace up the hurt One foot in the shade Still you stand your ground Every small scar Writes your name in stone You learn what it takes To carry the weight [Pre-Chorus] Strength of spirit Needs a reason Needs a burst And a body that knows [Chorus] Steel in the blood Keep it strong, keep it strong Steel in the blood You rise, you rise on and on Willpower holds you Body, don't break Spirit gets louder Every move you make [Verse 2] You drink in the dawn You run through the strain You eat like a promise You breathe like a flame The back won't bow If the legs still stand You build from the ground With your own two hands [Pre-Chorus] Strength of spirit Needs a reason Needs a spark And a body that knows [Chorus] Steel in the blood Keep it strong, keep it strong Steel in the blood You rise, you rise on and on Willpower holds you Body, don't break Spirit gets louder Every move you make [Bridge] When the mind says quit The body says stay Train the tired heart Make it learn the way No borrowed courage No empty prayer You build that will From the bones you repair [Final Chorus] Steel in the blood Keep it strong, keep it strong Steel in the blood You rise, you rise on and on Willpower holds you Body, don't break Spirit gets louder Every move you make Steel in the blood Keep it strong, keep it strong
