I have been down to my rock bottom
I have been pinned beneath the weight
Of failure, and I have withstood this
I stood up, then I walked away
Cause I don t need a pillow to cry on
Y know, it just feeds the will to fight on
Fight on!
And I might get beat down from time to time
I might take a spill or two
But there ain t nothing gonna keep me
In this state of black and blue
Cause I don t need a pillow to cry on
Y know, it just feeds the will to fight on
Fight on!
So come on now, cruel universe
And won t you hurl another obstacle my way?
Come on now, world, do your worst
Cause I ve still something left in me
Y know, you can t kill the best in me
I am gonna have my day
Oh, and when I do I know it will be
Sweeter for the strife I ve known
No I don t need a pillow to cry on
Y know, it just feeds the will to fight on
Fight on!
Then I can honestly say
That I fought this a way I was proud of
That I rolled with the blows
No I never folded, or froze, or fell out of
Out of love with the fight
Or pushing and shoving despite an uncertain outcome
But you know what it s all about?
It s all about the war wounds anyway
So now just let me say
That I have known my darkest hour
I have been come at from all sides
I ve been built up just to be knocked down
And I ve taken that all in stride
Cause I don t need a pillow to cry on
Well I don t need a pillow to cry on
Well I don t need a pillow to cry on
No I don t need a pillow to cry on
No I don t need a pillow to cry on
Y know, it just feeds the will to fight on
Fight on!
For the prize, for the pride, and for the glory
For the right to tell the story
Of the way you finally won
And when you re done, do fight on
For the weak and the forgotten
For the weary and down-trodden
Cause some can t do it on their own
So if they need you, then fight on
For the honor and the privilege of helping another
And for the sake of saving someone otherwise slipping under
Cause there are needs that are far greater than your own
So if you can, you should fight on
If you sit high up in that saddle
And, brother, you see others still in battle
Be the one to rely on
To be the one to fight on
Fight on!
