[Intro – soft piano, almost spoken] When I was a kid My father told me something once He said, “Someday you’ll stand beneath bright lights With the whole world watching And when that moment comes You’ll find out who you really are.” [Verse 1 – quiet, emotional] Years went by And the road got rough Every mile Was never quite enough Every loss Felt like the end of me But every fall Brought me to my feet [Band kicks in] And now the lights are blinding And now the crowd ignites And every scar inside me Leads me to this fight [Chorus – big anthem] So carry on When the battle drums begin to roar Carry on Even if you're crashing to the floor And when the world Says you can't fight anymore Raise your voice THIS DREAM IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR [Verse 2 – marching rhythm] Every rival in the ring tonight Every shadow in the blinding lights Every doubt I buried deep inside Is standing in my way But I remember every sleepless night Every moment that I chose to fight And I refuse to let it fade away After all this pain [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] If the clock is running down If the final round appears Then I’ll scream into the storm “I DIDN’T COME THIS FAR FOR FEAR” [Chorus] So carry on When the battle drums begin to roar Carry on Even if you're crashing to the floor And when the world Says you can't fight anymore Raise your voice THIS DREAM IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR [Bridge – slow emotional break] And if tonight becomes my ending If my strength begins to fade Let the echoes of this moment Show the price that courage paid Every scar Every war Every breath forevermore Is the reason I believe This life is worth fighting for [Final Chorus – biggest moment] So carry on Through the thunder and the war Carry on Even if you're broken to the core And when the crowd Is screaming louder than before Raise your fists THIS DREAM IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
