[Still Fighting] [Intro] Don’t give up. Keep showing up. Keep knocking. Hold on to hope. Stay the course. One more try. Keep believing. Persistence pays off. [pause] Doors don’t always open the first time. [Verse 1] I’ve lost friends, [pause] family, to this battle. I’ve lost minutes, hours, days, and years. I’ll never get back. [pause] But I’m still here. Something inside me keeps whispering, “You’re a fighter.” [pause] [Verse 2] My dad once told me, “Don’t ever take the easy way out. Life is worth fighting for.” [pause] He’s gone now, but I still hear his voice on the days I need it most. I made him a promise. I’d stay. I wouldn’t give up. So I’ll keep fighting. [Chorus] So I get up again. I pray. I tell myself, “Today is a new day.” I only have to make it through today. [pause] Sometimes I win. Sometimes I lose. But today… I’ll fight again. [pause] [Verse 3] Sometimes the easy road looks so much better. I’ve climbed out of the deepest caverns only to slip back again. [pause] I’ve fallen so many times I don’t even feel the bruises anymore. [pause] Sometimes I just live numb. Just numb. And I wonder if I’ll ever feel again. [pause] I wish I didn’t have to fight. This shadow never really leaves. Even when I walk away, it follows close behind. [pause] I don’t know why it came back so hard this time. But it did. [pause] Sometimes I get tired of fighting. But tired isn’t the same as quitting. [Bridge] Every morning I pray. I stand up. I say, “Today is a new day.” Then I move forward. One step. One choice. [pause] And I lean on my family when I don’t feel strong enough alone. Their love reminds me I’m never fighting by myself. [pause] One hour at a time. [pause] Sometimes one minute at a time. [pause] Some days I succeed. Some days I stumble. Every sunrise is another chance to begin again. [pause] [Final Chorus] Don’t give up. Keep showing up. Keep knocking. Hold on to hope. Stay the course. One more try. One more prayer. One more sunrise. One more chance. You may stumble. You may fall. Don’t quit. Because you’re a fighter. [pause] When I can’t go on, when the easy way out is tempting, when I’m so tired of the endless struggle, I say, God, carry me today because I can’t. [pause] When you are tired, don’t let today convince you that tomorrow can’t be different. [pause] You have something only you can bring to the table— a light, a voice, a purpose that no one else can replace. [pause] [Outro] Don’t give up. Keep showing up. Keep knocking. Hold on to hope. Stay the course. One more try. Keep believing. Persistence pays off. [pause] Doors don’t always open the first time. But I’m still here. Still fighting.
