lyrics
The coaching is not so good I’m on the strings
The opposite boxer won’t wait the ring
Some sad professors taught me how to climb,
But no one here told me how to dive
Hold on and breathe
Life on a ring …
An uppercut on my detached jaw
A man alone can’t fight against the law
Can’t stand the judges who say you’re not allowed
But against the current you won’t make old bones
Hold on and breathe
Life on a ring …
Knock out again, no more face to face
Believe again you can end the race
One life, two roads, so fatal choice,
Can’t immune you against audience salvos
Hold on and breathe
Life on a ring …
Last round went fast, I’m here again
How can you explain I’m still out of pain ?
Knocking rhythms … Knocking rhythms …
Knocking rhythms …. Knocking rhythms …
If there is a moral in this real story
The world is amoral and the boys can’t leave
I believe in the voices who say hold on
But understand the guys who throw away the sponge
Hold on and breathe
Life on a ring …
Hold on …
