Fight Song
Benjamin Kheng Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 powers 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
Cause 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
They say I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
And I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
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 powers 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
Cause I've still got
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

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers 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




Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me

Overall Meaning

The song "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten became an anthem for people who were going through tough times and needed to remind themselves that they had the strength to overcome their struggles. Benjamin Kheng and KHS's rendition of the song captures the same spirit of determination and resilience. The song starts with the analogy of a small boat on the ocean that can send big waves into motion, which represents the power of the individual to create change. The line "Like how a single word can make a heart open" refers to the impact that one person or one idea can have on someone's life.


The chorus of the song is the most powerful part, where the singer declares that this is their fight song and they will take back their life, prove they are alright, and be strong. The line "My powers turned on" represents the moment when the person realizes their full potential and strength to fight their battles. The bridge of the song talks about the struggles the person has gone through, losing friends and sleep and missing their home, but they still believe they will overcome it all. Finally, the song concludes with the line "And I don't really care if nobody else believes, 'cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me," emphasizing the importance of self-belief and determination to overcome adversity.
