In the Ring

IN THE RING

Up against the ropes again
Bloody nose and eyes
Never cheated in my life
But still they spread those lies

Your shaken up and rattled
Where has your spirit gone
In the raging battle
Beat down but not for long

Resilience earned with the attacks
Of those who cut and run
Those who never had your back
They used you then were done

Your shaken up and rattled
But you keep that chin up
In the raging battle
You can never ever give up

Lessons learned in the game
Have proven useful now
Of course you had to humble out
You’ll get through some how

Your shaken up and rattled
Remember the trial at hand
In the raging battle
With new brothers in your band

Can’t do this task by yourself
Teamwork is the key
But you got to seek from higher
And get down on your knees

Your shaken up and rattled
You’re a warrior so prepare
In the raging battle
Training for cruel warfare

So get ready for action
Soon you will get the call
You’ll lead others with passion
And see your enemies fall.

Your shaken up and rattled
The past has built you strong
In the raging battle
Determined to right the wrongs
