[English]

I may be down but I'm not out

Look into my eyes, there's no doubt

I found my place against the grain

Count every loss, it's always gain

Straight into the light side

Found myself defeated

Crawling out of the ashes victoriously

I may be down but I'm not out

Look into my eyes, there's no doubt

I found my place against the grain

Count every loss, it's always gain

I may be down but I'm not out

Look into my eyes, there's no doubt

I found my place against the grain

Count every loss, it's always gain

Straight into the light side

Found myself defeated

Crawling out of the ashes victoriously

I may be down but I'm not out

Look into my eyes, there's no doubt

I found my place against the grain

Count every loss, it's always gain
