[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots, concrete in my chest
I’ve been running hard, never getting rest
The smooth path is calling, easy just to fall
Back into the shadow that eats away it all
Lost a little joy, lost a piece of me
Trading off my soul just to feel a little free
[Chorus]
Stuck at the crossroads, heavy on the line
Hard road to freedom, or the easy quiet die
Losing my hope in the middle of the dark
Fighting for the embers, praying for a spark
I’m broken, I’m bleeding, but I’m standing up tonight
Yeah, I’m fighting for the light
[Verse 2]
The devil on my shoulder says to let it slide
Take the cheap comfort, nowhere left to hide
Every step forward costs a price I gotta pay
Sweating out the poison just to make another day
My knees might tremble, my hands might shake
But I’m taking every hit that it’s gonna take
[Chorus]
Stuck at the crossroads, heavy on the line
Hard road to freedom, or the easy quiet die
Losing my hope in the middle of the dark
Fighting for the embers, praying for a spark
I’m broken, I’m bleeding, but I’m standing up tonight
Yeah, I’m fighting for the light
[Bridge]
Let the thunder roar, let the gravel grind
I’m leaving every piece of the old ghost behind
It’s a long long climb, but I ain't backing down
No, I ain't giving up my crown
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Stuck at the crossroads, heavy on the line
Hard road to freedom, or the easy quiet die
Losing my hope in the middle of the dark
Fighting for the embers, praying for a spark
I’m broken, I’m bleeding, but I’m standing up tonight
Yeah, I’m fighting for the light
[Outro]
Fighting for the light
Yeah, taking the hard road home
Rising up, rising up
