Stay In The Fight

I will stay in the fight, cause I know you're by my side
In my corner, till it's over, gonna hear my battle cry
I will stay in the fight, I've been waiting all my life
For this moment, I ain't tapping out this time
I will stay here in the fight
You would think by now
This battle would be easier
After every bout
Starting all over again
When I get knocked down
I'm feeling so inferior
Only one way out
Just throw in the towel
Make it end
I wish I could tell you
That I finally found
A place and a reason
To let my guard down
Gotta keep my gloves up, going round after round
Hoping my knees don't give out
I will stay in the fight, cause I know you're by my side
In my corner, till it's over
Gonna hear my battle cry
I will stay in the fight
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment, I ain't tapping out this time
It's a lonely road
Shouldering a burden nobody knows
Hard to get a grip on a slippery slope
All I know is I need a miracle
I wish I could tell you that I finally found
A place and a reason to let my guard down
Gotta keep my gloves up going round after round
Hoping my knees don't give out
I will stay in the fight
Cause I know you're by my side
In my corner till it's over
Gonna hear my battle cry
I will stay in the fight
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment, I ain't tapping out this time
I will stay here in the fight
It's like I'm burning both sides of the candlewick
Inside a tunnel with no light at the other end
Poker face, stone cold bluffing, but I'm about to quit
Every moment my emotion got a bone to pick
Feeling sick in my stomach with every low blow
Teary eyes swollen half shut, seeing no hope
Stretched thin but I'm finding a reason
To get up, shake it off and keep believing
I will stay in the fight
Cause I know you're by my side
In my corner
Till it's over
Gonna hear my battle cry
I will stay in the fight
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment
I ain't tapping out this time
I will stay here
I will stay in the fight
Cause I know you're by my side
In my corner
Till it's over
Gonna hear my battle cry
I will stay in the fight
I've been waiting all my life
For this moment
I ain't tapping out this time
I will stay here in the fight
