Transcript

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now
I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Because I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep, say I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
And I still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now
I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Because I've still got a lot of fight left in me
a lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now
I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Because I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Meaning

When we’re having a rough time in our lives and need an extra push to get through the day, and there is a tiny but brave voice in our heart that wouldn't let us give up on ourselves or our dream...
Rachel Platten explained: "This is the story of the many rejections I received from record labels, the countless closed doors... I think the song empowers us to keep fighting for what we believe in and to never give up on ourselves".
