(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s my boy!
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
You better know it now

He’s been through the fire, walked through the storm
Heart made of thunder, soul reborn
Took every hit, never stayed down
Now he’s rising, wearing his crown

They said he wouldn’t make it, said he’s too weak
But he turned the pain into something unique
Now he’s standing tall, unshakable pride
With the whole damn world on his side

No, he don’t break, he don’t fold
He’s got a spirit made of gold
Every scar’s a story told
Watch him shine, fierce and bold!

Have you ever been down before?
Have you ever been hurt before?
Have you ever stood up before?
You'll be ready, ready to go
I can only tell you: You gotta stand up and pick yourself up
Stay completely independent and never forget
Got a dust, let me wipe it for you
If you got it, then let's go

That’s my boy!
He’s got fire in his eyes
He’s the reason hope survives
That’s my boy!
Never backing down from war
Built to fight, and so much more
From the pain he made his joy
Yeah, that’s my boy!

He don’t need no rescue call
He’s been saving himself through it all
He’s the calm in the hurricane
The spark in the pouring rain

They tried to doubt him, tried to break his soul
But he turned the hurt into control
Every battle just made him tough
Now he knows he’s more than enough

No, he don’t quit, he don’t run
He’s a fighter, second to none
Watch him rise like the sun
Burning bright – yeah, he’s the one!

Have you ever been down before?
Have you ever been hurt before?
Have you ever stood up before?
You'll be ready, ready to go
I can only tell you: You gotta stand up and pick yourself up
Stay completely independent and never forget
Got a dust, let me wipe it for you
If you got it, then let's go

That’s my boy!
He’s got fire in his eyes
He’s the reason hope survives
That’s my boy!
Never backing down from war
Built to fight, and so much more
From the pain he made his joy
Yeah, that’s my boy!

Have you ever been down before?
Have you ever been hurt before?
Have you ever stood up before?
You'll be ready, ready to go

To the ones who said he’d fall
He’s dancing on your doubt, standing tall
He’s the roar you hear in the night
The blaze you can’t put out, the light!

That’s my boy! (That’s my boy)
He’s got fire in his eyes
He’s the reason hope survives
That’s my boy!
Never backing down from war
Built to fight, and so much more
From the pain he made his joy
Yeah, that’s my boy!
(That’s my boy)
Yeah, yeah – that’s my boy!

So when they ask who stood through it all
That’s my boy
