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
