The Fighter
(Listen) clip
There's no backing down from the fighters
When they've got you in their sights
They'll use all they have to crush you
Make themselves look right
To bring you down may bring them up
And lower you some more
They'll be no hand held to help you up
When you lay on that floor
Then boast to those above them
And later make it light
They feel empowered by the soul
Whom they've harmed that night
And rise up in position
While those beneath them fear
Who'll be the next to suffer
Come promotion time next year?
The fighter in the corporate ring
Is subtle at the hiring
When threatened does the firing
Then fear destroys all love
The fighter must feel in control
They think that keeps them living
But only love can heal a soul
And love it comes through giving
The name tags may get altered
As promotions are obtained
How many souls were hurt by you
For title you have claimed?
You see it in the faces
As they grow old and still
Every fight that was provoked to keep them on the hill
But only love can heal a soul
And only love's worth living
There's nothing here we can control it if no one's left forgiving
The fighter
