The Fight - Eli Young Band

So, this was not how you planned it.

No, oh you don’t understand it.

Why, is it so misleading?

when all you really wanted became so defeating.

time, well it only got harder

thought you had one but it was another.

Then, you believed in a breakthrough

but it took you by surprise when you came out a fool.

You gotta fail a thousand times

before you see it through.

you gotta spend your last dime

before you ever make a million.

you gotta know what brought you here

and you gotta lose to persevere.

but it’s the way the sun will rise

through the darkest night.

yeah it’s always been worth the fight.

Hope, it can make you courageous

it started out small, but now it’s contagious.

strength, it’s an honor you earn

when you look back and see all the lessons you’ve learned.

But you gotta fail a thousand times

before you see it through.

you gotta spend your last dime

before you ever make a million.

you gotta know what brought you here

and you gotta lose to persevere.

but it’s the way the sun will rise

through the darkest night.

yeah it’s always been worth the fight.

Yeah it’s always been worth the fight
