It is What it Is

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head that won’t go away until you do something with it?

Today is one of those days. The song is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. It is the theme song from Rocky III (1982). I know this is not quite how the #write28days prompt (survive) should be used, but it’s the best I can do today.

Eye of the Tiger

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

Rising up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive
