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
