Here I am, thinking of you
Things we say and things we do
Doesn't seem long ago
I was holding you so safe and warm

Suddenly my life is changed
And I find myself like a ship in a raging storm
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now

[Chorus:]
Fighting for my life, fighting for my life
I'm back against the wall, fighting for my life
Fighting, fighting for my life

I recall, the days of my youth, my head in the air
My back to the truth
Runnin' from the good things I had
My hunger for a piece of the game

Now I find those days are gone
And I'm hanging' on
I know it can never be the same
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now

Ooh yeah ooh oh yeah, baby ooh oh

I've been at the corner for the longest time
I have gone the distance with the will to survive
I tell you one thing, I can't always be right
Gonna live, gonna live every day like it's the last one I got
I'm fighting to hold on

[Chorus]

Fighting for my life, I'm fighting for my life
