about

The idea for ‘Fight’ came from a friend and fellow songwriter asking me, “What do you wish someone would say to you?” I’ve struggled with depression on and off throughout my life, along with feeling like I’m not good enough, not seen. This song was my answer to that question. I want someone to say “I’ll fight for you…. When you need a hand to hold, I’ll be the one. Keep going….” I wrote ‘Fight’ in late 2019 and it came to mean a lot to me across the next couple years and I’m very happy to get the recording out into the world.

lyrics

Fight
sunset starts to fade
yet you can’t quite see the stars
the charade has broken down
and left your heart a trail of scars

your eyes are drooping low
and you don’t notice lights are lit
darkness overwhelms you
you feel like all that’s left to do is quit

i’ll fight for you
i’ll carry you
i’ll be the flame to light your way
when you need a hand to hold i’ll be the one
keep going one more step
keep breathing one more breath
through the darkness till you find your dawn

seems like things are moving forward
then the train goes off the track
everything you’re worked for
is lost and won’t come back

you were almost ready for the win
then the doubts come crashing down again
the emptiness returns
can’t find the will to make it one more day

i’ll fight for you
i’ll carry you
i’ll be the flame to light your way
when you need a hand to hold i’ll be the one
keep going one more step
keep breathing one more breath
through the darkness till you find your dawn


when you need some courage,
when you need some strength and love,
I’ve got them for you
and together we’re enough

i’ll fight for you
i’ll carry you
i’ll be the flame to light your way
when you need a hand to hold i’ll be the one
keep going one more step
keep breathing one more breath
through the darkness till you find your dawn
