The Fighter Stands

[Verse]
Dust in his lungs bruises on his skin
Knuckles split wide blood runs thin
The crowd don't cheer just the wind's moan
In the ring he's never alone
[Prechorus]
Bell rings sharp stings the air
He’s broken but he don’t care
[Chorus]
The fighter stands again and again
Knocked down but he won’t stay in pain
Every hit every fall every scar
He’s reaching for the stars
[Verse 2]
Sweat drips heavy eyes burn like fire
Legs feel weak but he’s fueled by desire
The ground pulls hard like it wants him there
But his spirit screams you wouldn’t dare
[Chorus]
The fighter stands again and again
Knocked down but he won’t stay in pain
Every hit every fall every scar
He’s reaching for the stars
[Bridge]
Fists of fury heart of steel
Every wound a badge every ache he feels
The world can break but it won’t own
A soul that’s carved from stone
