Cher Lynn: Music
The Fighter
(Cher Lynn)
This is a song that is near and dear to my heart. It is about doing what you know is the right thing to do or the best thing for you even if others around you are telling you that its not. It is about being strong and believing in yourself.
The Fighter
They told her “You can’t keep her, you have shamed our family
We found a couple of real nice folks who will give her everything”
Say your goodbyes put it all behind
But she knew she’d always have that baby on her mind
She was young and scared and barely nineteen years old
She had given him her heart her body and soul
He just wasn’t ready to hear the truth that day
All the begging and pleading in the world wouldn’t make him stay
But she was a fighter…
The family came in to take her, the papers ready to sign
She held her tight, took a breath and said
You can’t have her she’s mine
Well I don’t give a damn what everyone says
I’m young and I’m scared but I know what’s best
And I may not know much but I know this for sure
Anything you love’s worth fighting for
And I’m a fighter…
Break
(Bridge) Times will be hard but we’ll make it through
And I’ll teach her all the right things in life to do
We’ll get by and I’ll prove to you
This was not a big mistake
Everything is gonna be okay
Cause she’ll be a fighter…
