Eye Of The Tiger
Paul Cacia 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 survive

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
Risin' 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
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' 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

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
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' 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

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger




The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Un "Big" Internazionale della Tromba, un Artista di elevato spessore, da collocare nelle Alte Sfere dell'Universo Musicale, composto da Grandi Artisti che si nutrono, nell'interpretazione dei vari brani proposti, di estro, di fantasia , di creatività, elementi tutti che, nel loro insieme , rappresentano il " sale " di quella musica che genera, in chi lo ascolta, quell'Universale e Naturale sentimento dell'Anima che si chiama EMOZIONE!!

The music is amazing and the high notes on that trumpet is just mind blowing, but the thing that gets me the most is how in tune those higher notes are. They are so high that you would think they have to be sharp but no, they are still beautiful. Well done sir
