Fighter

(album: Ready To Fly - 2014)

Seven bucks an hour
Bills stacked on the counter
Got a baby on the way, they'll have to feed
His pride is getting torn down
His confidence is worn out
This ain't the way he dreamed that it would be

But he won't ever ask why
'Cause he's made up his mind

He's a fighter, got that fire
When they thought he'd fade away
Throws a fist up, as he gets up
Feeling stronger everyday
When he gets down on his knees, he finds
The courage to believe
He's a fighter, he's a fighter
Who inspires me

She's got no time for make-up
When she's got three boys to wake up
Never thought she'd have to raise them on her own
And some days she feels like crying
But she's holding on, surviving
On the love that makes their little house
A home

And she sees it in their eyes
All the reasons why, yeah

She's a fighter, got that fire
When you thought she'd fade away
Throws a fist up, as she gets up
Feeling stronger everyday
When she gets down on her knees,
She finds the courage to believe
She's a fighter, she's a figher
Who inspires me, oohooo
She inspires me, yeah

She's been here before
And she's only eight years old
But she knows the name of every nurse she sees
And though she don't like the chemo
She waits it out, never losing hope that
Someday soon she'll be cancer-free

She's a fighter, got that fire
When they thought she'd fade away
Throws a fist up, keeps her head up
Feeling stronger everyday
When she gets down on her knees,
She finds the courage to believe
She's a fighter, she's a figher
Who inspires, yeah
He's a fighter, he's a fighter
Who inspires me
He inspires me

You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You are my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
