Kaylyn Sahs - I'm a Fighter Now

My grandpa was a tough man, Vietnam 65 and 69
He was never one to back down from a fight
He was a good man but my grandma said he hadn’t always been that way
He had a reckless side and his family almost didn’t stay
So I got up the courage to ask him what had changed
He looked over at my gram and began to say
There might have been a little too much surrender in me
The first time I went to war
But I went digging deep remembering what I was fighting for
So you’re never gonna see me run for cover when
The shot rings across the bow
I’ll be standing here the way she taught me how
‘Cause, baby, I’m a fighter now
He said I haven’t always been a good man
Never knowing when I should run or I should stay
And I can’t blame her for choosing to walk away
But now I’m standing on her doorstep, sure of the man I am today
Somethin’s changed in me that I just can’t quite explain
She said I wanna trust you but I’m just not quite there
Well, take your time ‘cause I’m not goin anywhere
There might have been a little too much surrender in me
The last time we went to war
But I’ve been digging deep remembering just what we’re fighting for
So you’re never gonna see me run for cover when
The shot rings across the bow
I’ll be standing here the way you taught me how
‘Cause, baby, I’m a fighter now
I’m a little older now than I was then
And I’ve seen that there’s some fights I just can’t win
But I think about my grandpa every time I try to run away
There’s a fire rising in me when I say
There might have been a little too much surrender in me
The last time I went to war
But I’ve been digging deep remembering just what I’m fighting for
So you’re never gonna see me run for cover when
The shot rings across the bow
I’ll be standing here the way you taught me how
‘Cause, baby, I’m a fighter now
Baby, I’m a fighter now
