Fighter Lyrics (Written by Nik Day and Darla Day)

 

"One Spark"

 

You’re just one drop

In an ocean vast and wide

Only one voice

Where the galaxies collide

So the mountain top may feel so far away

But when you take one step it’s the start of something great

 

Chorus

One spark starts a fire 

One star in the night

Can make the world brighter 

And keep our hope alive 

One seed makes a thousand trees 

And a single note starts a melody 

All it takes to chase away the dark

Is one spark

 

We just have one life 

Don’t let it slip away

Hold up your lights 

Like a firework display 

Let the constellations guide you through the dark 

When you’re feeling lost let love light up your heart 

 

Chorus

 

Chorus

 

“Alone”

 

We’re the same, you and me, the same basic needs,

The same hearts that bleed, the same breath we breathe

But we don’t always wear it all on our sleeves

Cause deep down we’re scared that other people might see

Our issues. Heaven forbid.

Someone finds out what’s going on up in our heads

The funny part is we all feel the same thing

We care so much about what everybody else thinks

And what if they judge us

If everyone knew there’s no way that they’d love us

 

For some reason today, sadness is sweeping the world like a plague

Either our chemical make-up is doomed from the start

or our negative thoughts take us somewhere so dark that we’re

Contemplating things that should never be mentioned

Screaming to heaven for divine intervention

And sometimes we feel like nobody’s listening

Cause if someone’s up there, why is there so much suffering

 

There’s the football team captain

He scores a touchdown and the whole school starts clapping

But he’s got a secret that he’ll never say

What will happen if they find out that he’s gay

And it’s tearing him up deep inside

and he's seriously thinking about taking his own life

Cause how would his parents react

Would they make him leave throw him away with the trash?

 

There’s the popular girl, the queen of the prom

On the outside she’s perfect, but something went wrong.

She has low self-esteem. She’s so angry inside.

So, she teases and bullies the girls that walk by.

But she’s so confused. And she’s desperate to know. 

Why she’s surrounded by friends, but she feels so alone.

 

There’s the valedictorian three years straight A’s

But she can’t even sleep cause she’s scared that she may

get that B plus and see disappointment on mom and dad’s face

The panic attacks and it’s only a matter of time till she breaks

 

And then there’s our phoenix ashamed of her scars

She gave in to the lies, then she fell… so… far…

She was burned in the fire of mistakes and self-doubt

Now she’s covered in ashes, alone on the ground

But there’s hope for her yet. There’s a way to break free

And uncover the beauty that lies underneath

She can take off her ashes in time, one by one

Every time that she shows unconditional love

 

No matter how far gone we feel, there’s still hope

And if we open our hearts, we won’t feel so alone 

 

“The Same Tonight”

 

See the light on the skyline

It’s fading fast

And it’s taking away all the stains of the past

It’s a brand-new beginning

Time to start living

All the walls you’ve been building are

Tumbling down tumbling down

 

Chorus:

We all come from somewhere

We go wrong sometimes

Whatever you’ve been through

We’re the same tonight

We’re the same tonight

We’re the same tonight

 

You don’t need to keep hiding

Who you are

No one’s turning away

If you open your heart

It’s a brand-new beginning

Time to start living

All the walls you’ve been building are

Tumbling down tumbling down

 

Chorus

 

“Chains Narration”

 

He has all these dreams, and He’s trying to climb

But there's something that's weighing him down all the time

Like a cannon ball's strapped to his arms and his legs

And every step burns dripping sweat down his face

He thinks he’ll get stronger but as the days pass

He starts to wonder how much longer he’ll last

But the hardest part is, he knows deep inside

That he might have these chains till the day that he dies

 

“Chains”

 

I’ll admit I’m a little scared

Feel the blood rushing to my head

And I lie lie lie here alone lone lone

Cause there’s no no nowhere to go go go now

I forgot who I wanna be

People say something’s wrong with me

So I stay stay stay in the dark dark dark

Who knows if I’ll ever get out out of these

 

Chorus:

Chains chains

Don’t know how to break these chains

They got a hold of me

They got a hold of me

And they’re pulling me away away

Chains chains

Don’t know how to break these chains

They got a hold of me

They got a hold of me

And they’re pulling me away away away

Hmm

Hmm

 

I’m the king of a prison cell

A civil war inside myself

Cause I’m bruised bruised bruised and I’m broke broke broke

If I break break break out I don’t don’t know what

What’ll ever become of me

And I think that I’m in too deep

So I stay stay stay in the dark dark dark

Who knows if I’ll ever get out out of these

 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

Chains

Never get out of these

Chains

Never get out of these

Chains

Never get out of these

Lalala

 

Chorus

 

“Out of My Head Narration”

 

We all have two sides; two halves to the whole

One side is the side we want people to know

Where everything’s perfect; our clothes are all pressed

We live in the house with the white picket fence

But sometimes behind all the smiles that we show

There’s the opposite side that we try to control

It’s covered with cobwebs; it smells like decay

But we’ve locked all the doors and the key’s stored away

It’s the side that we try to make sure no one sees

And we’re dreading the day when that dark side breaks free

 

“Out of My Head”

 

I been wondering I been wondering

Just how long is this gonna last

I feel crazy I feel crazy

Like a roller coaster heart attack 

I don't know which one I'll be tonight 

A Dr. Jekyll or a Mr. Hyde 

It's a struggle just to stay alive gotta stay alive, gotta stay alive now

 

Pre:

Woah

They say it's all in my head

Woah

And I say yes it is, but

 

Chorus: 

It's not my imagination

It's got control of me

The darkness is closing in

It's closing in I gotta get

Out of my head

 

Look around and look around and

See the people walking down the street

They’re so happy they’re so happy

And I’m asking why can’t that be me

It’s like I’m spinning round and round 

And everything is inside out

Someone come and save me now can’t you save me now

Cause I’m breaking down like

 

Pre

 

Chorus

 

The problem is up in my head, I know that
The monsters ain’t under my bed, I know that

It’s crazy what the mind can do
It can tell the truth but it can lie to me too 
My head’s pounding my heart starts racing 
I’m in a maze but the walls keep on changing 
I’m not a lost cause, it ain’t over yet 
Just gotta figure out how to get out of my head 

 

Chorus

 

“Underwater Narration”

 

Buried in books and the search for perfection

It’s beyond an obsession, she’s deep in depression

And despite the awards and recognition that she gets

It’s like it’s never enough. She just adds more to the list

She feels like she’s drowning. The pressure’s so great

When she tries to resurface, she gets crushed by the weight

But she’s still reaching higher, she still sees the light

Cause she knows if she stops she’ll get buried alive

 

“Underwater”

 

Is this a dream is this a dream

Or am I drowning

I try to scream I try to scream

But nothing’s coming out

I’m slipping through the darkness

In an ocean where no one’s around

And something’s pulling me down

 

Chorus:

6 feet underwater

Trying to hold my breath but I’m

Sinking deeper and deeper

Reaching up towards the light

Trying to keep my hope alive

I can’t last much longer

Under water

 

My strength is gone my strength is gone

There’s nothing left now

Still holding on I’m holding on

But I don’t how

I can make it through the darkness

There’s a hopelessness inside of my heart

And it’s pulling me down

 

Chorus

 

“He’ll Never Let You Go Narration”

 

Sometimes we pray and sometimes we don’t

But there’s not a time that we’re left on our own

And if we need some guidance, some heavenly aid

There’s something divine that will show us the way

And once we’re enlightened and we rise above

All the suffering and pain that we’ve been trying to give up

We then go find the one that won’t ask for our help

And we pass along the divine love that we’ve felt

 

“He’ll Never Let You Go”

 

Sometimes you’re left in the pouring rain

Sometimes your heart just starts to break

And there’s no end sight

There are days when your fire burns out

Everyone keeps pulling you down

you’re Oh just trying to survive

 

Chorus:

When you fall on your knees

And there’s no one else to turn to

Just look up and you will see

That there’s someone there who loves you

and he is on your side

Waiting till the moments right

You’re not alone

You’re not alone

And He’ll never let you go

 

It’s hard to see when you’re looking down

It’s hard to hear when you drown it out

But oh He’s always there

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

And if you’ve ever loved someone

You’ll understand how he feels

But there’s nothing better than this Love

 

Chorus

 

“Fighter”

 

Face up on the floor

I’ve been here before

Lights out

Bleeding on the cold ground

 

Wake up take a breath

It’s not over yet

Stand up and shake it off

Gonna give it gonna give it all I got

 

Chorus:

Cause I’m a fighter

I’m a Survivor

Fall down get up and reach higher

Never gonna give up

Never gonna give in

Oh

Rising up from the ashes now

And nothing’s ever gonna break me down

Cause I’m a fighter

I’m a fighter

Oh

 

Gloves up back again

Got my second wind

And I’m stronger

Go a little harder

I might get pushed around

No chance I’m tapping out

It’s my time gonna make the climb

And I’m not gonna stop till I reach the top

 

Chorus

 

Rap:

I’m a fighter

With a lion heart

Weaving in and out

Glowing in the dark

No I ain’t afraid

Of what the people say

Till the last round fighting till my dying day

Nah, it’ll never get the best of me

Because the best of me is my destiny

Life comes swinging hard it’s always testing me

But I’m a champion I don’t accept defeat

I only get first place

Even on my worst days

And when I finally reach the top, y’all

I’ll let you know how it tastes

 

Chorus

 

“Ashes”

 

Once again, our phoenix has fallen

After all that, all her dreams are demolished

She came so far, but was it all just a waste?

Cause she ended right back at the very same place she started

 

She was told that to take off her ashes

She had to show unconditional love

And the more that she loved, the more good things happened

And we started to see the Phoenix she once was

 

The football team captain, the popular girl

The valedictorian, they all needed her

And as she reached out, that dark hole deep inside her

Began to be filled, and she began to feel lighter

 

But just like what happens to each one of us

Darkness came pouring in like a flood

They put out that fire that goodness had started

It left her depleted, discouraged, downtrodden

 

When you’re on the top, you fall so far down

Just when you think that you’ve figured it all out

But that’s the moment that matters the most

Do you pick yourself up, or disappear with the smoke?

 

She may be bruised, but she’s still not broken

There’s a spark that lives on, she’s already chosen

To fight till the end, to take some more chances

To reach for the stars and to rise from the ashes

 

“I’m Not Broken”

 

I can feel a hole inside my heart 
A thousand missing pieces lost and torn apart

Salty teardrops glisten in my eyes 
I stumble through the darkness looking for the light 
 

Pre-chorus:
I don’t know how long that this will last 
But I’ll keep fighting till the very end

 

Chorus: 

I may be bruised

but I'm not broken 

I may be tired

But I'm alive 

And I will live

With arms wide open

This heart can love 

I'm not broken

 

There’s a day when all our hearts will mend 

The pieces we’ve been missing will be restored again 

But till that day I’ll take the parts of me 

The ones I’ve held together 

And see where love will lead 

 

Pre-chorus:

I didn’t choose to live the life I live 

But I can choose to make the most of it 

 

Chorus

 

Chorus

 

“Grand Phoenix Narration”

 

Our phoenix has found all the strength that she needs

And she's free from the chains that were strapped to her feet

So, she's ready to take to the skies once again

If only she had divine guidance, but then

The great phoenix appears, to show her the way

And she wipes all the tears from her now smiling face

The Great Phoenix says, you belong in the sky

Just do as I do and you'll learn how to fly

 

“Watch Me Fly”

 

From the ashes

From the dark

I am rising 

To the stars

Where there was suffering

Now there’s light

I will spread my wings

Open wide 

 

Chorus: 

Watch me fly 

High above the world 

Letting go and breaking free

My chains no longer holding me 

Watch me fly 

 

Traveling at the 

Speed of light

Breaking boundaries 

Burning bright 

There’s no gravity

To hold me down

I will spread my wings 

Reaching out

 

Chorus​

​

“The Sun Will Rise For You”

 

I see it in your eyes

The hope you’re trying to find

Seems just out of reach

The fear inside your heart

Has kept you in the dark 

And it’s hard to believe

 

Pre-chorus:

Things can change 

You’ll find your way 

 

Chorus: 

When you’re walking through the fire

When you’re hanging on for life

This night is over soon

And the sun will rise for you

When the cold is rushing in

And it’s piercing through your skin 

Hold on, you’ll make it through 

The sun will rise for you

 

The heartache that you feel

Can help somebody heal

As long as you don’t keep it trapped inside

So just reach out your hand

It isn’t over yet 

Don’t give up the fight 

Things will change

You’re on your way

 

Chorus

 

Bridge: 

And the morning will be brighter

And the hurt won’t last so long
Your burdens will be lighter

Now that the night is gone

But your journey through the darkness

Has made you who you are

You are light

You’re not alone

 

Chorus 

 

“Fighter (Reprise)”

 

When you open up your heart, then 

All the love will pour in 

And you can use all the love that you get 

it's enough it'll get you where you're going

Life will try to get you down 

And only love can get you out

Forget about yourself, reach out to someone else

There's no better time than right now 

 

Chorus

 

Every day is a struggle 

But there's a light at the end of the tunnel

Cause when we fight we get stronger 

We understand the pain, we love harder  

There's opposition in all things

But that opposition helps us all see 

That we can give up or we can stand up 

and we can go out and be what the world needs 

 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

We're the same tonight

We're not alone tonight

Break those chains tonight

We can get out of our heads

Underwater, but we're learning to swim

He'll never let you go

You're a fighter, and you never fight alone 

Happiness is on the horizon 

We're not broken, we're rising 

From the ashes, like a phoenix 

We can rise up if we believe it

This ride can get rough  

But if all that we got is real love that's enough 

 

Chorus

​

"We're In This Together"

 

You feel alone

And you can't stop falling 

Something happened

Something you never wanted 

And I know it can be too much sometimes 

But there's a better life ahead

 

Chorus:

When you stare in the mirror, everyone’s staring back at you 

When you think that you're lost you've got someone to hold onto

When life seems to break your heart You're not the only one

And it won't last forever

We're in this together 

 

Though it looks like

Someone’s figured it all out

They’ve got their own

Times when they break down 

It’s all part of 

This world we live in

But there’s sense in giving up

 

Chorus

 

Bridge: 

Our reflection says it all 

No one’s ever really lost 

Look around now 

We’re in this together

Our reflection says it all

If you still think you’re alone

Look around now

We’re in This Together 

 

Chorus
