"Rocky (Alternative Version)" lyrics

I guess I'm going out back into the night
In the spotlight, I know where I'm going
Getting rid of doubt, I leave it out of sight
I wanna taste what my dreams are showing

I can feel my heart beating, I try to let the feeling go
There's no fear, no retreating, yeah

On the ropes
Fighting for a final round
Come on with your kicks and blows
Try me, I will stand my ground
I'm Rocky running up the stairs
Finally I'm getting there
Life will never play it fair
Name the time and place
I'll fight you anywhere

Down for the count, oh but I'll never bow
No matter the pain, no way I'm losing
The crowd is going loud, mmh that's the holy sound
Someone else bites the dust but I'm refusing

I can feel my heart beating, I try to let the feeling go
There's no fear, no retreating, yeah

On the ropes
Fighting for a final round
Come on with your kicks and blows
Try me, I will stand my ground
I'm Rocky running up the stairs
Finally I'm getting there
Life will never play it fair
Name the time and place
I'll fight you anywhere

On the ropes
Life will cut you to the bone
Kicks and blows
Keep fighting to the break of dawn

On the ropes
Fighting for a final round
Come on with your kicks and blows
Try me, I will stand my ground
I'm Rocky running up the stairs
Finally I'm getting there
Life will never play it fair
Name the time and place
I'll fight you anywhere
