Shadowboxer's Awakening
[Intro]
(Whispers of dreams, echoes of time...)
[Verse 1]
Jim was a small kid, he was quiet and shy,
He didn’t seem to have the brawn.
He wasn’t daring, or one to fight,
Until the day he put the boxing gloves on.
When he saw his shadow on that wall,
He knew what the dim light had shown.

Lyrics
[Verse]
(Whispers of dreams, echoes of time...)
[Verse 1]
Jim was a small kid, he was quiet and shy,
He didn’t seem to have the brawn.
He wasn’t daring, or one to fight,
Until the day he put the boxing gloves on.
When he saw his shadow on that wall,
He knew what the dim light had shown.
(“This is my tomorrow, This is my call.”)
(“This is the path, I’ll make my own.”)
There was some darkness around Jim,
But that wouldn’t stop or faze him.
Youth and naivety were not what they seemed, (not what they seemed)
But rather, the drive to achieve his dream. (Ooh, his very dream)
[Bridge]
(Ooh, the shadows speak and, the echoes weep...)
(Ooh, heart of a fighter, that never sleeps...)
[Verse 2]
Each and every day, he pushed forward,
Soldiered on, and always stood firm.
He had the will and strength within,
Plus, his kind of heart was needed to win.
He chose the toughest road to reach his goal.
It was tiring, it was steep, it was challenging.
He got knocked down, but being a hungry soul,
He always got back up and kept fighting.
There were bruises, wounds, and scars.
It was bloody. It was scathing. It was painful.
[Chorus]
He hadn’t lost, and wasn’t about to start. (Not about to start)
He bested all of his opponents, not just a handful. (He was skillful)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(Feel the thunder and feel the rise, that is the power that's in his eyes...)
[Verse 3]
The historic day came when he faced the champion,
And not only did Jim rise to the occasion,
But he gave a fair fight with such a passion,
That he left the ring with a long and standing ovation.
[Chorus]
How did he do? Did he just win? Did he just lose?
it’s all about the dreams you choose.
[Duet]
(With heart and soul, in every call)
It's all about the fights you fight
[Duet]
(with every try, and all your might)
You'll find your path, your guiding light.
[Duet]
(Your way to fight, to laugh and cry)You will win, not lose, if you put your heart and soul, Into everything you choose.
In the echoes of the ring,
With the stories in between,
A man fullfils his dream and
A fighter's spirit forever wins...
