[Verse 1]
Shoulder to shoulder
I know it could be easy, yeah
Now keep your head up, talk to me
I know it could be easy, yeah
What would the world be, if we let it be just fine
What would a smile be, if not a tear sometime

[Verse 2]
Sister, sister
I know it could be easy, yeah
Now keep your head up, talk to me
I know it could be easy, yeah
What would the world be, if we let it be just fine
What would a smile be, if not a tear sometime

[Chorus]
I rather fail on my own terms
And call it a lesson learned
I rather fail on my own terms
Than follow you and get burned
I rather fail on my own terms
And call it a lesson learned
I rather fail on my own terms
Than follow you and get burned
[Verse 3]
Shoulder to shoulder
I know it could be easy, yeah
Now keep your head up, talk to me
I know it could be easy, yeah
What would the world be, if we let it be just fine
What would a smile be, if not a tear sometime

[Verse 4]
Mother, mother
I know it could be easy, yeah
Now keep your head up, talk to me
I know it could be easy, yeah
What would the world be, if we let it be just fine
What would a smile be, if not a tear sometime

[Chorus]
I rather fail on my own terms
And call it a lesson learned
I rather fail on my own terms
Than follow you and get burned
I rather fail on my own terms
And call it a lesson learned
I rather fail on my own terms
Than follow you and get burned
I rather fail on my own terms
And call it a lesson learned
I rather fail on my own terms
Than follow you and get burned
