[Verse 1]
Neon sunrise, empty street
Bare feet on the concrete
Heart’s been knocked down before
But I’m back, gonna ask for more
Sweat on my brow, fear in my chest
Old doubts putting me to the test
Sensei’s voice in my head tonight
“Stand your ground. Breathe. Fight.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fall taught me how to rise
Every loss sharpened my eyes
I don’t need luck, I don’t need fame
Just discipline and flame
[Chorus]
I’m gonna strike like the light, fast and true
When the world says stop, I push through
One chance, one move, one moment in time
I won’t back down, this fight is mine
I’m gonna stand my ground, hold on tight
From the shadows into the spotlight
No fear, no doubt, I’m ready tonight
I’m gonna strike—strike like the light
[Verse 2]
Broken boards, bruised pride
Long nights when I almost cried
They laughed when I walked alone
Now I’m stronger than they’ve ever known
Balance found in the pain
Every breath, every grain
When the bell rings, I’ll be calm
Still as stone, sharp as dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small
But I learned how not to fall
When the moment finally came
I remembered why I trained
[Chorus]
I’m gonna strike like the light, fast and true
When the world says stop, I push through
One chance, one move, one moment in time
I won’t back down, this fight is mine
I’m gonna stand my ground, hold on tight
From the shadows into the spotlight
No fear, no doubt, I’m ready tonight
I’m gonna strike—strike like the light
[Bridge]
(Whoa-oh!) Hear the crowd fade away
(Whoa-oh!) It’s just me in the fray
Crane my focus, clear my mind
Body steady, soul aligned
This is more than a fight
This is how I prove I’m alive
[Key Change Chorus]
I’m gonna strike like the light, feel the fire
Every hit takes me higher
One breath, one leap, destiny calls
I rise again when I fall
I’m gonna stand my ground, no retreat
Victory right at my feet
No fear, no doubt, this ends tonight
I’m gonna strike—strike like the light
[Outro]
Neon fades, crowd roars loud
I bow my head, I’m not the same now
From the dark to the fight
I learned who I am tonight
