Fight This

Music & Lyrics by Tahiti Rey

“She found her strength in her fragility and it shook her soul like a thundercloud.”

Lyrics

Verse 1

Mama told her one day she’d meet a man that fits

And when she found a man who gave a damn

Never let him through her fingers slip

She found a boy

He filled her with joy

Verse 2

Fast forward two years as she moved into his place

They had their first fight about bills, chores, and sharing the same space

Looked into his eyes

They wanted to run and hide

Chorus 1

She said, we’re gonna fight this

I’m not giving up this soon

We’re gonna fight this

The man I feel in love with would

No, it won’t be an easy road

But there’s one thing that I know is

We’re gonna fight this

We’re gonna fight this

Verse 3

Ten years, two kids, and now he’s down upon his knees

Not to pray, but to beg for forgiveness please

With tears in his eyes

Said ‘It was just one night…’

Chorus 2

She said, we’re gonna fight this

I’m not giving up this soon

We’re gonna fight this

The Father of my children would

No, it won’t be an easy road

But there’s one thing that I know is

We’re gonna fight this

Bridge

Cause if there is just one reason

One reason in this life

The only thing worth fighting for in this God-forsaking life

It’s Love

Verse 4

Thirty years and they’re in tears

As they just get the news

Mama’s cancer is spreading in her chest

And there’s nothing they can do

He holds his Bride

As they both sit there and cry

Chorus 3

He said, we’re gonna fight this

I’m not giving up this soon

We’re gonna fight this

The Mother of my children would

No, it won’t be an easy road

But there’s one thing that I know is that

Bridge 2

The Mother of my children

My Lover, and my Wife

The only thing worth fighting for in this God-forsaking life

She would fight this

She would fight this

Verse 5

Broken tears and all his fears

As he buries his Bride

Thinks of every moment

With their children by his side

Pulls them to his chest

And whispers just under his breath…
