Let The Fighter Be Lyrics

Sitting in the corner mouth feeling so dry

A whole lotta pain and a whole lotta pride

Trainer says boy keep him out inside.

Bell rang loud running into the storm

The bright lights flashed and he moved into form

Trainer yelled boy here comes that swarm

Step back and got caught free

Felt the trickle down from the eye

Shuffled to the left and cleared free

Pull counter to that side.

Heavy on the knees and the feet like stone

Sweat taste like salt and the eye swollen closed

Just like when daddy got drunk at home

Tied up rest just to catch a breath

Don't hang on says a haggard ref

Trainer yelled boy ten seconds left

Fear no blame

Body weak

Sitting on the stool trying to get on board

Drown out the noise let the fighter be

Lady screams loud at the top of her toes

Center of the ring to the blood in blows

Radio man says the end is close.

Shifted over hand he felt the rush inside his veins

Remember why you came here

You're a fighter just the same

Mallet to the bell and the battle is done

The warriors praised by the cheers in the drums

Trainer says boy I love you son

Fear no blame

Body weak

Sitting in the ring trying to feel the Lord

Drown out the noise let the fighter be

Let the fighter be
