Song Description

Song about overcoming and rising to the top

Lyrics

I'M A FIGHTER

CHORUS

YOU CAN'T BEAT ME, BREAK ME DOWN
MY SPIRIT'S HIGH, I'M ON SOLID GROUND
IF LIFE SEEMS HARD THIS TIME AROUND
(I'LL WIN) 'CAUSE I'M A FIGHTER

YOU CAN'T SHAKE ME, TRIP ME UP
MY SKIN IS THICK, MY WILL IS TOUGH
WHEN IT SEEMS I'VE HAD ENOUGH
(I'M BACK), 'CAUSE I'M A FIGHTER

VERSE

Sometimes it can be hard to get up and out and face each day
When all the stress of life's worst challenges get thrown your way
And you never can be sure if your best friend is real or fake
But you give a little piece of yourself and that's the chance you take

PRE-CHORUS

But I don't let it in
Negative don't live under my skin
Look the other way
When someone tries to ruin my day

(REPEAT 1ST CHORUS)

VERSE

See, I ain't gonna get nowhere by sitting on the fence
And sometimes I have to deal with crazy folks who make no sense
And just because I tried and failed don't mean I won't try again
I'm gonna rise to the top even if I don't know when

PRE-CHORUS

No use keeping score
When the past don't matter no more
Reaching deep inside
One shining moment turns the tide



CHORUS

DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I'VE BEEN
I LOOK AHEAD TO BETTER THINGS
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS
(BUT I'M DOWN), 'CAUSE I'M A FIGHTER

I'M STILL STRONG, LOOK AT ME
NO, I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY
I HOLD MYSELF WITH DIGNITY
(I'M HERE) 'CAUSE I'M A FIGHTER

PRE-CHORUS

I don't let it in
Negative don't live under my skin
Look the other way
When someone tries to ruin my day

(REPEAT BOTH CHORUSES)
