Eye Of The Tiger
Lorena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Risin'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 sirvive

So many times, it happens too fast.
You trade 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.
Hangin' tough, stayin'hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive

It's the Eye of the tiger...

Risin'up, straight to the top.
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive





It's the Eye of the tiger...
