To The Contenders

This one goes out to the contenders
Living life on yesterdays dime
Past the great walls and the great pretenders
Don't let any of them waste your time
This one comes from the dark forest
Where you can face off against your soul
And we can see what has come before us
Keep swinging no matter where you go

This one goes out to the contenders
Still running in tomorrow's dawn
Still swinging against the great defenders
The ones who don't forget which side they are on

Fight fight fight
For your life life life
Keep swinging first your left then your right
You gotta
Fight fight fight
For your life life life
Up against the shadows in the middle of the night

This one comes
From a long dream
To get yourself past the locked door
To never quit
Inside of the ring
To punch the face of who you was before
This one goes out to the contenders
That needed faith just to survive
It takes a leap to jump the rope within us
It takes grit to keep your soul alive

Fight fight fight
For your life life life
Keep swinging first your left then your right
You gotta
Fight fight fight
For your life life life
Up against the shadows in the middle of the night

To be the champion
To be the champ
To be the champion
To be the champ
