Fight the Good Fight Lyrics

Performed by Triumph
Review The Song (37)

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think that a little more money can buy your soul some rest
You better think something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

CHORUS (CORRECTED AGAIN ON NOV. 11, 2010)

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay

Every moment of your lifetime
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay
Yeah

Salvation in the name of Jesus Christ Only!! | Reviewer: D WASH | 5/12/12

Referring to some of the aforementioned comments, I have never heard of any other book described as the "Good Book" other than the Bible. Sometimes we are in denial of the obvious because the truth that may come our way may just contradict our personal beliefs, rather than truth. Jesus said that He is the Truth, The Way, and The Life, and no man can come unto God the Father, unless they come through Him. Therefore, Jesus is the only way to God. There are obvious Christian implications in this song. Let's stop playing it off and pretending that it's not. Regardless, of spiritual beliefs, it is a super rocking song!!

Ears to hear... | Reviewer: E Jones | 4/23/12

This song, randomly done by musicians that had no 'real' understanding of what was being accomplished through them, were giving music to those "with ears to hear" something to listen to that would inspire and strengthen them to "keep up the good fight" until the time prepared in advance. The time that they are meant to be ready for so that they could help save whatever is left worth saving of humanity.

The time is short...

I have lived my life by this song. I replace the words you and we with I and it means that much more to me. Every day we go through challenges and making the right choice is hard. We are here on this earth to do the best we can. One day we will be with God and I want to know that I fought the Good Fight down here on earth. Because he loves us and will never forsake us.

Triumph--to rejoice in victory! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/20/12

after reading all the reviews of this song I am struck by how much influence these words had on so many, myself included! I agree with most, but find the ones that believe that the lyrics have no GOD in them only show their deep fear of finally admitting that there is something bigger than them. They use the most demented logic to twist it into what makes them feel comfortable. It's just a positive song or go for all you can in life, etc. As one reviewer eluded to, just be honest with yourself, nothing this world offers you will ever satisfy and only death will be your reward (or worse). You were created for something more, something infinite, eternal--"just take a look inside your head!". Stop fighting a losing battle, Be real and see there is more and start fighting the Good Fight!

I am dedicating this song to my son Danny. He is a senior in high school this year and his football team is vying for the state title this month. The quarter finals is tomorrow! Ironically, this song came out when I was his age. I loved the song then but really appreciate the message even more now! Awesome tune!

1 and 2 Timothy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/11

The lyric to this song sounds like an interpretation of 1 and 2 Timothy where Paul is giving final instructions to Timothy before he is executed. On a performance on Youtube Rik Emmett introduces this song by saying "from the immortal words of St. Paul, Fight the Good Fight" I think the performance was last year in Lockport NY. Great song!!!

THis song bassically gives me the message of : fight for what you want in life dont let the dark of life consume you go for toward the light . You decided what you want out of life no one els . ANd when your livieng this life you have to give and not just take and take . Also the good stuff in your life doesent come with out paying a small price and money dont by happiness .
I love this song .

very inspiring band | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/27/11

you all miss the point - God has written this on all of our hearts . Its only when you get quiet and truly let down the false pose that we hide behind that it comes out. Look around at movies , music etc . Doesnt have to be a christian artistor producer. A common theme runs in all of us - you can deny it or embrace it. you can take your questios to the women,work ,alcohol, money, hobby, education etc or take it to christ! he is always waiting!

Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/11

I agree with the Boss Song comments... This song is more about humanity rather than religion. You don't need a religion to follow goodness, it is natural within us.

Anyways, im discovering this song again at age 35, I last heard it when it was released. So im freaking out about how awesome the lyrics are because i was too young to understand anything back then LOL!!

RESISTING TEMPTATION | Reviewer: bodecia | 2/9/11

this is the message i get from this tune. the price i'm paying now by not giving in to something i know is wrong in God's eyes. but my reward of eternal life will make it all worth while. the answer is in my heart. i don't like it, i fight every day not to rebel, but i know i'm doing the right thing. but that's just MY opinion.......obviously we are all blessed with analytical skills and these skills lead us to the choices we make.to do the right thing, or not.
having said that, i will now say that i wish i was retarded! lacking analytical skills...........but that's just me................

Just Maybe | Reviewer: Robert Shannon | 1/31/11

Actually this song came out many years ago; written by Mr. Rick Emmit.

All can stop debating; The Band Triumph was the 1st Christian Rock Band; they were originally brought together as young adults by their Minister so that they could follow those trapped misic desires but be steered away from the pitfalls of the Rock & Role Life.

They had a few good songs, many very inspiring and if you listen real close you will always hear that faith and love for music and God that they shared.

I'm pretty sure it is partly religious, since good book nearly always means the Bible. But I don't think the song is necessarily about God, just about living the best life you can...i find this song very inspiring.

Look again! | Reviewer: C.G. | 12/28/10

This song was written for or inspired by a band members family member, or a friend of one the band memebers who was terminal with cancer.
Dont be so fast to dismiss the POSSIBLE religious meanings.
Its funny how everyone freaks-out about religious feelings! "Oh no, someone might believe in GOD and actually show it in song!" Why does everyone try to dismiss this? Some mucians may actually believe in HIM!
Maybe the GOOD BOOK line was meant as the BIBLE? Be afraid!

Boss song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/10

This song is way too boss. All you people talking about religion need to chill it. When he refers to "the Good Book" I think it's safe to say that he is not talking ONLY about a single or even a handful of religions, but about social norms in general. The majority of people out there understand and believe (whether in theory or in practice) that kindness is 'better' than greed.

To me, that's what this song is about. Taking matters into your own hands and cleaning up this world one kind deed at a time.
