Don’t let your guard down
Keep your shield up
You’ve gotta be ready
Don’t let your guard down
When the going gets tough
Keep your heart steady

You never know when danger will strike
Might be tomorrow, might be tonight
Learn to trust your instincts and nothing else
The world can be cold, the world can be tough
Sometimes love is not enough
Sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself

Don’t let your guard down
Keep your shield up
You’ve gotta be ready
Don’t let your guard down
And when the going gets tough
Keep your heart steady

Don’t let your guard down
Keep your shield up
Keep your shield up
Don’t let your guard down
Keep your shield up
Keep your shield up
Don’t let your guard down

You’ve gotta be ready
