Straightaway Fighting The Odds lyrics

Holding breath, spilling blood, hanging by a thread
Even in the darkest times we've never ceased to hold our ground
Never ready to let die and to back down
With the weight of the world on our shoulders
We wandered every step of the way
We strived so hard not to go astray

Bending never breaking, slowing down never stopping
Fighting the odds with a common passion to believe in
Fighting always trusting, Falling always standing
Turning the tide this ship is not sinking

Another letdown, another disappointment
One more situation that stands in the way
Running out of time waiting on the sideline
With a constant fear not to make it through
Armed with such a dedication and

the greatest persistence to refuse the end

Fighting always trusting, Falling always standing
Turning the tide this ship is not sinking
Bending never breaking, slowing down never stopping
Fighting the odds with a common passion to believe in

Words with a deeper meaning I won't let it go
This world's got so much more to show

We've got scars to prove each and every fight we held out
There's so much more that we can take, so much less that we can't face
