about

This is for anyone who's ever thought about giving up.

"Sometimes life will knock me out
I might face a million blows
But when I am on the ground
I will not lose hope
Like a fighter, when my world comes crashin’ in
I’m gonna get back up again" Like A Fighter

xoxo,
Maddy

lyrics

Like A Fighter
Words and Music by Maddy Rodriguez

Shortness of breath
Like some kind of death
Inside Your heart
You know what I mean?
It feels like your dreams
Have broke apart

You’re wanting to live
But you don’t know if
You’ll get hurt again
You know when you’re down
Pacing around
Afraid to try again

Well that’s been me for too much time
And I just want to free my mind
Instead of second guessing
Always scared of messing things up

Well I won’t lose sleep, not anymore
Today I’ll open a new door
I shouldn't be defeated
What I really need is to be strong

So from now on…
Every time I say “I can’t”
Every time I say “I won’t”
I will change my own mind
I will prove me wrong
Sometimes life will knock me out
I might face a million blows
But when I am on the ground
I will not lose hope
Like a soldier when he thinks he’s reached his end
I’m gonna get back up again

It’s hard to believe
When all that you see
Are obstacles
And when you’ve been hit
You think you won’t get
Over those hurtles

If that’s been you for too much time
And you just want to free your mind
Instead of second guessing
Always scared of messing things up
Well don’t lose sleep, not anymore
Today you’ll open a new door
You shouldn't be defeated
What you really need is to be strong
Just sing along

Every time I say “I can’t”
Every time I say “I won’t”
I will change my own mind
I will prove me wrong
Sometimes life will knock me out
I might face a million blows
But when I am on the ground
I will not lose hope
Like a boxer when he feels like giving in
I’m gonna get back up again

Sometimes we fall
On our knees we crawl
And standing up seems impossible
But you can’t lose
Not if you chose
To believe you’re capable
And give the fight your all

Every time I say “I can’t”
Every time I say “I won’t”
I will change my own mind
I will prove me wrong
Sometimes life will knock me out
I might face a million blows
But when I am on the ground
I will not lose hope
Like a fighter, when my world comes crashin’ in
I’m gonna get back up again
I'm gonna get back up again
