Eye of the Tiger / Gonna Fly Now Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rocky]
Rising up
Back on the street
Took his time, took his chances
Went the distance, now he's back on his feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

[Chorus]
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

[Verse 2: Apollo]
I'll be watching them all with the eye
Of the tiger

[Verse 3: Rocky]
Face to face
Feelin' the heat
Hanging tough and staying hungry
They stack thе odds for a certain defeat
Gotta kill, for thе skill to survive
[Chorus:]
It's the eye of the tiger
It's 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 he's watching us, watching us all

[Chorus:]
It's the
Eye of the tiger
It's 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 he's watching us all with the eye

[Verse 4: Rocky]
Gonna fly (Gonna fly now)
Gonna fly now
Ooooh (Gonna fly)
Gonna fly
