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…
