Fighting for It All
Unyielding Spirit: Mindy Smith's Anthem of Perseverance
Lyrics
You can try to keep me down
Resistance against attempts to suppress or restrain.
You can try to keep me under
Efforts made to confine or limit, yet unsuccessful.
But you'll never get my will,
One's determination and inner strength cannot be seized.
You'll never take my will to fight
The resolve and determination to stand and fight cannot be taken away.
'Cause I was born at the bottom of this mountain
Originating from a challenging environment or circumstances.
I'm scared and I'll probably climb it ,
Despite fear, there's an inclination to tackle challenges head-on.
Climb it till the day I die
A commitment to persist in overcoming obstacles until the end.
All the things I know I needed
Knowledge of essential requirements that propel forward.
Just keeps me going
These necessities serve as motivation to continue.
All the things I never had
The absence of certain things fuels a stronger desire for them.
Just keeps me wanting it more
A persistent longing for what has been elusive.
Fighting for it all
A continuous struggle or battle encompassing all aspects of life.
I know I'm not that pretty
Acknowledgment of not conforming to societal standards of beauty.
I'm only avid smart
Valuing intellect and capability over physical appearance.
With an overwhelming uncanny need just to need to survive
An overwhelming drive to survive despite adversities.
But you can dig a grave six feet under
Efforts to bring about downfall, futile as resilience prevails.
But you'll have to take me up
To defeat, one must uplift rather than bury.
'Cause you know I won't be going high
A refusal to descend; aiming to ascend instead.
All the things I know I've needed
Constant pursuit driven by the knowledge of essential needs.
Just keeps me searching
Continued exploration to fulfill unmet requirements.
All the things I never had
An unfulfilled longing that intensifies the pursuit.
Just keeps me wanting it more
A persistent desire for what has been lacking.
Fighting for it all
A resolute struggle encompassing all aspects of life.
I never had a hero
Absence of influential figures; lack of exemplary role models.
Never met a saint
No encounter with morally superior individuals.
And there's nothing on this earth I can take with me
Recognition that material possessions hold no value in eternity.
Anyway
Indifference towards earthly possessions.
All the things I know I've needed
Recognition of essential requirements that sustain progression.
Just keeps me going
These necessities serve as a driving force to continue.
All the things I never had
An unfulfilled longing fuels an intensified pursuit.
Just keeps me wanting it more
A persistent desire for what has been lacking.
Fighting for it all
A continued struggle encompassing all aspects of life.
Fighting for it all
Reiteration of the ongoing battle for everything.
So, you can try to keep me down
Efforts to suppress or restrain, unsuccessful.
You can try to keep me under
Attempts made to confine or limit, yet ineffective.
But you'll never get my will,
One's determination and inner strength cannot be seized.
You'll never take my will to fight
The resolve and determination to fight remain intact.
