I took a ride with a one way ticket
I aimed my arrow at the mark and hit it
We all need to be somebody
Been broken down, but not defeated
I kept on punching back 'til I succeeded
We all need to be somebody now

We stopped at nothing, even climbed barbed wire
We struck a match and set the world on fireAnd if we tried we couldn't get much higher now

chorus
Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Standing proud 'cos we're the champions
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses

We pushed it all beyond the limit
We took our chances
And we jumped right in it
We all need to be somebody
Now I believe in strength in numbers
Went into battle with the force of thunder
We all need to be somebody

I want to shout it out with all my power
I want to scream it from the highest tower
I want to celebrate our finest hour now

-chorus-

Oh you gotta give it your all
You gotta know what you're after
Go we'll make it over the wall together

I took a ride with a one way ticket
I shot my arrow at the mark and hit it
So while all the others only talked I did it
Kept pushin' everything beyond the limit
You play the game
You gotta play to win it
So raise your glasses, raise your glasses

-chorus-

Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Lift your voice in celebration
Raise your glasses
