Man in the Arena Songtext
von The Script

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, mm (fight, fight, fight, fight)
Get ready to, ready to rumble (fight, fight, fight, fight)


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, mm
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

(Yeah, yeah)
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

Ooh-ooh
In the arena
The man in the arena
In the arena
