When my uncles were teenagers (when I was first borned) they used to have these matching rocking chairs in the basement of my grandparents' house, in which they would sit and rock and listen to their albums on headphones on the hi-fi. One of those albums was Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." This is my version of "Eye of the Tiger."
lyrics
All past days that came up short, I can’t describe them. Stand in the wind for a while, the vernal equinox is here. Our voices carry in that wind for all the world. You are on the run, I know no other language, no other tongue. Fight while you are on the run, right while you are on the run. For the sake of life the wind is in my brain. See that it is soothing, it’s good to breathe in Spring air. All things are changing and becoming new. Fight while you are on the run. Who knows what is one thousand dollars anyway? It only matters on inside the stockade...
