Paroles de la chanson
Uh-oh, running out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
Well, oh, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb
But I, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I need another love to be mine
Cause I, I got stamina
Don't give up; I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up; I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive
Well, uh-oh, running out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
But, uh-oh, I got stamina
And oh yeah, running to the waves below
But I, I got stamina
And oh yeah, I'm running and I'm just enough
And uh-oh, I got stamina
Don't give up; I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up; I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Oh-oh, I got stamina
Hey, I am the truth
Hey, I am the wisdom of the fallen; I'm the youth
Hey, I am the greatest; hey, this is the proof
Hey, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, hey
I transform with pressure; I'm hands-on with effort
I fell twice before; my bounce back was special
Letdowns will get you, and the critics will test you
But the strong will survive; another scar may bless you, ah
Don't give up (no no); I won't give up (no no)
Don't give up, no no no (nah)
Don't give up; I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up… I got stamina)
