Against the roar of the river's rage
He fights the current, turns the page
Silver scales like armor shining bright
Pushing forward through the endless night
Rocks bite deep, whirlpools pull him down
But love's call echoes all around

Every leap a battle, every fall a scar
He rises again, he won't go far

It's the fire in his fins!
Rising up to reach his love again!
Through the thunder and the pain!
He fights the river, breaks the chain!
Eye of the fighter, heart on fire!
Climbing higher, never tire!
For her waiting in the calm above
He swims for love!

Water whips like thunder from the falls
He slams the rocks, ignores the calls
To turn back now would kill the dream
Of golden scales in a quiet stream
Memory burns inside his soul
One touch, one spark, makes him whole

Every wound a story, every breath a vow
He'll make it there, he'll reach her now

It's the fire in his fins!
Rising up to reach his love again!
Through the thunder and the pain!
He fights the river, breaks the chain!
Eye of the fighter, heart on fire!
Climbing higher, never tire!
For her waiting in the calm above
He swims for love!

He pauses at the edge of doom
Water crashes like a tomb
One more jump, one final cry
Then he soars into the sky!

It's the fire in his fins!
Rising up!
To reach his love again!
Through the thunder!
And the pain!
He fights the river!
Breaks the chain!
Eye of the fighter! Heart on fire!
Climbing higher! Never tire!
They meet at last in the still water's glow
Two hearts together, the river lets go!

Swims for love, swims for love
Eye of the fighter
