Eye of the Tiger

Used to call that raging beast inside of me
Should I fight or should I back out?
But this is the time that I should get the chance
A test of survival that keeps my passion burning 
It’s like you want to chase your dreams even its night
Like craving for prey and want a good fight
I could stumble to death in every single hunt
But I can stand on my feet and still fight to survive
Have the power and guts to face my rivals
I’ll rise and not fall with the wonder in my eyes
So I won’t give up till the last of my breath
Have the glory with me till the end of my life
