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



CHORUS:

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



CHORUS
