FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
Words and music by RIK EMMETT

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay

Every moment of your lifetime
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay
 


"On The Outside Looking In"

You've closed a door in front of me
I wait patiently outside
And as the minutes tick away
I feel my anger rise

And who's the object of my rage?
And who's not being fair?
Is it you for your indifference?
Or me for just standing there?

'Cause in my mind the room beyond
is bathed in golden light
Well I dream about you through the day
and I toss and turn at night

Sometimes it's hard to understand
When they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

Well I didn't make the grade today
and I'm not the only one
But my heart won't stop hurting
my feeling all alone

And maybe we'll trade places
in some not so distant year
I'll hear your voice a-calling out
and I'd cover up my ears

'Cause in my mind the room beyond
is bathed in golden light
well I dream about you through the day
and I toss and turn at night

Well sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
An' should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

well I could brag on the things I've done
or the places I have been
But I've never found a cure
for on the outside looking in

Sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?
