Defy The Odds
Concert Level 2: Some unison and/or mirrored (partner opposite) movement, which can include count-offs, ripples, and A/B paired combinations. Breakdown of occasional technical dance steps. Moderately easy to learn.
A new take on a timeless theme -- the underdog finding the inner strength to outlast and defeat the seemingly invincible opponent. With a classic 80's driving rock sound and a sassy solo feature, this chart is guaranteed to rouse the fighting spirit in your choir! The alto solo (alternate tenor version in the TTB score) is long enough to accommodate a full costume change if needed.
**Sync, streaming performance, and master licenses are ALL included with the purchase of this arrangement.**

You, you think you're invincible That nothing's gonna take you down As you push your way to the top But I know what goes before a fall And only those with nothing to lose Aren't afraid to lose it all You may have won the battle But I'm gonna win the war I'm never gonna quit this fight 'Cause I've got something worth fighting for I'm coming up from behind Gonna knock you right offa your feet Slingshot to your weakest spot Aiming for a total defeat I'm gonna defy the odds Sing hallelujah to the gods up above For showing some love When push comes to shove I'm coming out on top! You've got the power You're full of pride Your friends are in high places But mine are standing by my side And I'm gonna last until the final round I'm gonna get up each time you take me down 'Cause I'm a survivor I'm a fighter And I'm still standing in spite of it all Oh.... I'm coming up from behind Gonna knock you right offa your feet Slingshot to your weakest spot Aiming for a total defeat I'm gonna defy the odds Sing hallelujah to the gods up above For showing some love When push comes to shove Sing praise to the gods I'm gonna defy the odds!
