Only Here for the Fight - Jenny Wilson

Are you asleep

Stop with that dream, dream oh no

Oh man, listen up

The holes been fixed in my shirt

Combed my hair with my fingertips

And washed away the dirt

Will I make it

I know I must go on

Am I right or wrong

I won’t give up

I’m armed, I’m tough, I’m strong

And prepared for the rough days

I sing the fighters song

‘Cause I will make it

I know I must go on, yeah

I’m only here

Only here for the fight

Listen to the choir

Only here for the fight

My arms have become so strong

Only here for the fight

Hunker down there’s a fire shot

Only here for the fight

Lick the plates clean

Only here for the fight

I don’t wanna lose

Only here for the fight

Don’t screw it up this time, woman

Wear a coat made of doubt

But I roll up my sleeves

And my pockets full of questions

I’m spitting blood on the street

I remember

What my mama said

Woman always be prepared

For the fight

Listen to the choir

Only here for the fight

My arms have become so strong

Only here for the fight

Hunker down there’s a fire shot

Only here for the fight

Lick the plates clean

Only here for the fight

Don’t wanna lose this

Only here for the fight

I’m all knocked out

I’ve fallen asleep

Don’t wanna wake up yet

From this wonderful dream

I stalk through the grass

I’m proud like a queen

My eyes are sharp as neon lights

My voice is clear and clean

Oh glorious, oh glorious, the choir sings for me

And for the rest of the herd

The word, the words, the words

You must have heard

And it goes like this

Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight

I don’t know

Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight…
