She walks to the ring, again, tonight,
prepared for the fight, she knew would come.
It's been all of her life, and more, it seems.
Can it finally be that tonight's the last fight?
Cuz who says that the fighter is born to be fighting,
to rise up and go to bat?
Who says that the fighter is glad to be fighting,
as if they've got everything left?
There needs to be a break,
a reprieve from the ring and come posthaste,
to collect all these trials and trenches and medals,
cuz she needs a break.
Who says that the 3rd round bell brings any joy
to a fighter who gives it her all?
Who says that the 4th round fight
isn't just an offering?
There needs to be a break,
a reprieve from the ring and come posthaste,
to collect all these trials and trenches and medals
In another time, far away,
she is having the time of her life, and she is ok.
There needs to be a break,
a reprieve from the ring and come posthaste,
(could you come)
to collect all these trials and trenches and medals,
cuz she needs a break.
She needs a break.
She needs a break.
I am really grateful this album exists, and am awe-struck that it was recorded live. Beyond stunning voice and each song has its own life and shape, growing and surprising and soothing. Love. Chris Calabria
