'EYE OF THE TIGER' lyrics:

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 

[Chorus:] 
It's the eye of the tiger, it's 
the thrill of the fight 
Rising 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 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus]

The eye of the tiger 
[Repeats to fade out]
