Still Fighting

My breath refuses to let me be
My eyes are dirty and won't let me see

But the train is coming and it will not wait
I cannot rest, I cannot be late

I have to ride and fly tonight
Tomorrow will come with all of its light

And I must be there prepared or not
To fight the days that must be faught 

Life goes on and waits for none
You fight the days until there done
