Fight Song Lyrics by Rachel Platten
Verse 1
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Pre-Chorus
And all those things I didn’t say
Were wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
Chorus
This is my fight song (Hey)
Take back my life song (Hey)
Prove I’m alright song (Hey, ha)
My power’s turned on (Hey)
Starting right now, I’ll be strong (Hey)
I’ll play my fight song (Hey)
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes (Ha)
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Verse 2
Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried about me
In too deep
Say I’m in too deep (In too deep)
And it’s been two years, I miss my home (I miss my home)
But there’s a fire burning in my bones (In my bones)
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
Pre-Chorus
And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
Chorus
This is my fight song (Hey)
Take back my life song (Hey)
Prove I’m alright song (Hey, ha)
My power’s turned on (Hey)
Starting right now, I’ll be strong (Hey)
I’ll play my fight song (Hey)
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes (Ha)
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Post-Chorus
A lot of fight left in me
Bridge
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Chorus
This is my fight song (Hey)
Take back my life song (Hey)
Prove I’m alright song (Hey)
My power’s turned on (Hey)
Starting right now, I’ll be strong (I’ll be strong)
I’ll play my fight song (Hey)
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Outro
No, I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
