"Fight Song"

By: Rachel Platten

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

What moral value that we can take from this song?

• We have to be a fisherman to feel the big waves

• We should collect matches in case of electricity goes off

• We must fight for our dreams

• We don’t have to care about others

But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
