It’s now or never
My one chance to rise
A fight to the finish
To claim a prize
A worthy prize
No matter the cost
Without the prize
I’m surely lost
So I’ll stand and fight
With all of my might
I can’t give up now
When the prize is in sight
It won’t be easy
I’m vastly out-weighed
But I've got to try
Though, I admit, I’m afraid
My arms are getting heavy
But I won’t quit; I won’t go
The only way to make me
Is with a TKO
So I’ll roll with the punches
I’ll stay in the ring
Dodge hooks and jabs
Till the last bell sings
‘Cause if I’m still standing
It means I've succeeded
If I win this fight
I’ll have all that I've needed
So against all odds
Please wish me luck
Place your bet on me
‘Cause I won’t give up!
