lyrics

Plain old Jane had a run in with the evening train
Headed south bound in the pouring rain
when she was in the search of hiding

Left behind all her sorrow with an open mind
for her tomorrow hoping she would find
her reasons for fighting

Why do you stand when you barely can
while both those leather gloves embrace your trembling hands
and you're barely breathin'
Why do you swing alone in the ring
against a world that fights you back with everything?

Tell me your reasons

Reason one: the bigger dream requires bigger guns
in time of struggle until you become the product of battle
Now for two: the days you're living could be very few
and you don't know when it is time for you
to kiss the clock and finish breathing

Tell me your reasons
and take your time away

Reason three: this old world is not a home for me
The body dies and then the souls set free
so why not live a life of fighting?
...of fighting
...keep on fighting
...keep on fighting
