[Verse 1]
Day has come
You are prepared
Electricity in the air
Feel the calm
Feel the rush
You want to leave victorious
Will you look in their eyes
They want you gone, they want the prize
When day is done, risk it all
One will stand, and one will fall

[Chorus]
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win

[Verse 2]
Seal the deal
Get it done
Earn the right to say you have won
Work it out
Sacrifice
Someone's going to have to pay the price
Face to face
Stand your ground
Stay in the zone, now do not back down
More than pride
You depend
Fighting hard 'til the very end
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
When you share the dream
There's no "I" in team
Let the spirit take you higher
It's a state of mind
No one can define
There's no limit to desire

[Chorus]
When you learn to lose
You will know what it takes to win
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win

[Outro]
Want to go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You are the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You are on your feet again
Because you know what it takes
What it takes to win[x3]

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
