Fight The Good Fight

From the factories to the fields to wherever darkness wields its knife

To the hearts of freedom beating

For those who have a burning deep down inside that scares them to death but keeps them alive

In the middle of the battlezone surrounding

No matter how many battles are won, the war will continue to rage on

With their unlimited weapons of media, power and money

And just when you feel all hope is lost, you hear of someone with their life they've paid the cost

You return to the fight a little more scarred, a little more determined

Everyone else around you wallows in the abyss of mediocrity

But you're all consumed with the altruistic vision that every person should be free

But through every cloudy night, your only driving force is to do what's right

You never give in, you keep fighting the good fight

You fight for one person to get a second chance and you fight for the masses to be able to dance

In a freedom drenched field of dignity and justice

Your heart well it must be strong, and your soul true enough to carry on

As you lose your mind in the midst of all the shambles

The odds are stacked so high, its so much easier to resign

Yourself to live your life the way they told you

We know we're strong enough to survive, but we'll be damned if our kids have to live their lives

With the same kind of hopelessness and utter despair

We can't protect them from every evil they see but we can fight for them to live free

With a little self worth and liberty screaming

And those that came before us and worked all their lives

Never made it ahead, let alone, couldn't even get by

Never got to enjoy what they worked so hard for

For our children who have yet to come, and our parents and grandparents who fought on and on and on

That forges the unyielding passion for the fight of freedom

They're gonna think we're crazy and look down on us

We may be poor, but our souls are righteous

And I'd rather be damned than live how they told me toq
