In the Ring of My Mind

[Verse 1] In the shadowed gym, silence thick, Gloves are tight, the hours tick, Sweat drips down, focus sharp, Every breath, a beating heart. Eyes on the prize, no retreat, Dodge and weave, light on my feet. [Chorus] In the ring of my mind, the battle’s set, Every move, a calculated bet, Fists of steel, spirit unbent, In this fight, I’m confident. Dodging blows, feeling bones, In the fight, I stand alone, Every punch, every swing, I’m the king in my own ring. [Verse 2] Morning haze, pavement's burn, Miles to run, lessons to learn, Bruised hands, calloused skin, Every fight, a war within. Eyes on the prize, no turning back, Strength and will, keep on track. [Chorus] In the ring of my mind, the battle’s set, Every move, a calculated bet, Fists of steel, spirit unbent, In this fight, I’m confident. Dodging blows, feeling bones, In the fight, I stand alone, Every punch, every swing, I’m the king in my own ring. [Bridge] Shadowbox with my fears, Counting down the days and years, In the mirror, my own foe, In my head, the punches throw. [Verse 3] Night descends, the crowd awaits, Under lights, the final gates, But in my mind, I’ve walked this path, A thousand times, felt the wrath. Eyes on the prize, victory's near, In my heart, there's no fear. [Chorus] In the ring of my mind, the battle’s set, Every move, a calculated bet, Fists of steel, spirit unbent, In this fight, I’m confident. Dodging blows, feeling bones, In the fight, I stand alone, Every punch, every swing, I’m the king in my own ring. [Bridge] Round by round, the vision clears, No more doubts, no more fears, In my head, the final bell, In this fight, I will excel. In the ring of my mind, I find my way, Every night, and every day, With each round, I am reborn, In this fight, I am sworn. [outro]
