Fighting the good fight,

a life long round,

sparring partners

come and go

Stand Up!

Fight for your convictions,

Don't back down,

go down in righteous flames

has always been my motto.

But I'm tired now,

I want to lay

my verbal gloves down,

My convictions don't

stand quite as strong,

I'm weary of this gladiator ring,

Don't want to do this anymore,

And I don't know any longer,

what I've been fighting for.
