Song Lyrics:
Chorus 1
when it looks like all's come undone
again
Sun Rises at dawn
when they say that something is wrong
just smile
and wait out the storm
Life will have its ups and its downs
and turns
some smiles become frowns
All that counts is you remain true
to you
soldiers never back down
Verse 1
I used to feel like everyone was having fun but me
I felt like I was missing something only they could see
Chorus 2
When it looks like all's come undone
again
Sun Rises at dawn
when they say that something is wrong
just smile
and wait out the storm
Verse 2
I used to think the cooler things in life were hard to see
I had a hard time understanding happiness was free
I used to worry what they'd say and what they thought of me
Until I learned what mattered - was just living honestly
Chorus 3
Life will have its ups and its downs
and turns
some smiles become frowns
All that counts is you remain true
to you
Rock stars never back down
Bridge:
You are stronger than you know
answers are within in your soul
Just soar forward towards your dreams
It's never hard as it seems
Verse 3;
I like it when you try to tell me that it cant be done
I'll talk to you when I've finished and I've shown everyone
I'll talk to you when you've got something meaningful to say
I've got my own life to live before time slips away
Chorus:
When it looks like all's come undone
again
Sunrise is at dawn
when they say that something is wrong
just smile
and wait out the storm
Life will have its ups and its downs
and turns
Some smiles become frowns
All that counts is you remain true
to you
Heroes never back down
Heroes never back down
Heroes Never Back Down
One thing the Monarchy does well is dark songs. So much so that we sat down to consciously write a happy song that would provide some inspiration and the result was heroes. The “chin up” message never gets old. Whether it be soldiers, rock stars or heroes they all have one thing in common – they move forward despite their fears and they never back down. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. Its moving forward in spite of it.
