FIGHT
PFR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's off to work and then home again
She wonders if this will ever change
Clutching her pillow, she hides in a dark
Room in her heart
How long has it been
Since love touched her and she let in
With her head in her hands, she cries
"Come back again, I need you, my friend"
We fight on our knees but don't often see
The battles that rage being won
But fight on, we will and tarry until
Love comes to carry us on
To kneel with the broken in spirit
And call upon the Son
So many holes here within
Torn apart and then blown by the wind
Hell and high water come crashing in
Pride says to fight but he cannot defend
This means to an end
The truth cuts like a blade
Bleeding all of the plans that he made
Nothing but faith in the One who came
Can ever bring peace to the spirit again
Will he understand?
We fight on our knees for those who might see
The battle is over, it's won
Not by our hands, by the Son of man
He who is has overcome
Death and the grave hold no power
To those who call upon the Son
We fight on our knees but don't often see
The battles that rage being won
But fight on, we will and tarry until
Love comes to carry us on
To kneel with the broken in spirit
And call upon the Son

She takes the six o'clock train
Every day, she leaves for work on an early morning train
It's off to work and then home again
She works hard all day and comes back home exhausted
She wonders if this will ever change
She questions if her life will always be this repetitive and dull
Clutching her pillow, she hides in a dark
She seeks solace in the darkness of her room and clings to her pillow
Room in her heart
Where she keeps her hidden feelings and emotions
How long has it been
It's been a while since she's felt loved and happy
Since love touched her and she let in
The last time she truly felt loved and open was ages ago
Chased out the shadows, filled emptiness
Love made the darkness and void in her life disappear
With her head in her hands, she cries
She breaks down and sobs, grieving her loss of love
"Come back again, I need you, my friend"
She pleads to the person who left her to come back and fill the void
We fight on our knees but don't often see
We keep fighting even when it feels like hope is lost
The battles that rage being won
We often don't realize that we're slowly but surely winning our battles
But fight on, we will and tarry until
We will continue to fight and persevere until we succeed
Love comes to carry us on
Love will come and give us the strength to keep fighting
To kneel with the broken in spirit
We will empathize and support those who have been hurt and lost hope
And call upon the Son
We will pray and seek guidance from a higher power
So many holes here within
There are many voids and emptiness within us
Torn apart and then blown by the wind
Our lives can easily be disrupted and destroyed by external factors
Hell and high water come crashing in
No matter what obstacles we face, we must keep fighting
Pride says to fight but he cannot defend
Our ego may drive us to fight, but it won't protect us in the end
This means to an end
Our struggles are merely stepping stones towards an ultimate goal
The truth cuts like a blade
The harsh reality can be painful and difficult to accept
Bleeding all of the plans that he made
The truth can ruin our carefully laid out plans and hopes
Nothing but faith in the One who came
The only thing that can give us hope and peace is faith in a higher power
Can ever bring peace to the spirit again
Faith and hope can help mend our broken spirits
Will he understand?
Will the person struggling with his battle understand that faith is necessary for peace?
We fight on our knees for those who might see
We fight for others who may be inspired by our battles and perseverance
The battle is over, it's won
The fight for survival and hope may be long and hard, but it will be won eventually
Not by our hands, by the Son of man
We will overcome our struggles with the help of a higher power
He who is has overcome
The higher power has already conquered all our struggles and adversities
Death and the grave hold no power
Even death and abandonment cannot defeat us if we believe in a higher power
To those who call upon the Son
Those who seek guidance and support from a higher power will find peace and hope

on Goldie's Last Day
I think this is more about the fact that it was just her time to go, not that there was foul play. It wasn't an avoidable accident, but just a full life coming to the end
