"In the warriors code theres no surrender. Though his body says stop his spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul a quiet ember knows its you against you. Its the paradox that drives us on. Its a battle of wills. In the heat of attack its the passion that kills. The victory is yours alone.In the burning heart just about to burst, Theres a quest for answers an unquenchable thirst. In the darkest night rising like a spire, In the burning heart the unmistakable fire."

"How do I know if I give you too much? Will I scare you away? How do I know when to leave you alone? When to beg you to stay? I wanna know Just how much love does it take? To get to you, I stand here ready to break. Tell me, tell me, How much love does it take?"
"I need to prove to myself This is more than a crush. Can you convince me Its not just a physical rush?Is this love that Im feelin? Is this the love thats been keepin me up all night? Is this love that Im feelin? Is this love?"
"All the people cheer til the end is near And the hero takes a fall. Then theyll drag you through the mud, Youre only flesh and blood. I have walked the path from dark to light, And theyve yet to come to terms. Alone I take my stand, Im only a man against the world."
"Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done. The search has come full circle, our destinies are one. So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn. Youll know for certain, the man I really am.I was living for a dream, loving for a moment. Taking on the world, that was just my style. Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper. The search is over, love was right before my eyes."
"Theres a story in my eyes. Turn the pages of desire. Now its time to trade those dreams For the rush of passions fire.I can feel you tremble when we touch. And I feel the hand of fate. Reaching out to both of us."
"Rising up, back on the street, Did my time, took my chances. Went the distance, now Im back on my feet, Just a man and his will to survive. So many times it happens too fast, You trade your passion for glory. Dont lose your grip on the dreams of the past, You must fight just to keep them alive.Its the eye of the tiger, Its the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night, And hes watching us all With the eye of the tiger."
