Tiempo de Lucha

I’ll vow to stay humble to find my peace
And I don’t want to let myself down again
I’ll strive to remember what’s essential
What success shouldn’t overshadow

Pride played tricks on me in the past
And I’ve thought that can’t happen again
I value the chance to be wrong
Because you can’t escape failure’s grasp

And remember when you’re in the abyss
To look deep inside yourself
To be self-critical and take a mental check
That’s the healthy way to rise again

How nice it is to be admired by others
But that power comes with responsibility
Setting an example for the little ones without bragging
And observe, because they can teach you too

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight

A big goal requires sacrifices
Demanding, willpower, and great courage
Giving up short-term pleasures and vices
It’s not self-punishment, it’s for a greater end
Sometimes there’s motivation, sometimes not

Sometimes there’s discouragement, fatigue, I
Remember the purpose, to be better
Then I find strength and I’m not afraid of pain
Self-discipline is the gift that will help you achieve

The deepest desires of your heart
The power of execution that pushes you to give
Every step to realize that vision
And prove to yourself that

Strength comes from the heart
From the mind, from making a conscious effort
The final goal is the culmination
Act with integrity and honesty

Respect yourself and you’ll be respected
Respect, many talk about it without knowing what it is, right!
You have to earn it, it can’t be imposed
Control your ego, if it rules you, you’re lost

If you fight just for medals, you’re confused
I’ve seen many rise and then fall
Meditate every day and remember your goals
You won’t beat an opponent with rage

Temperance, focus, constantly
Find balance, that’s how you’ll be much stronger
Without fear, without distraction, and keep in mind
Your body is your temple, take care of it

It’s one with your mind and spirit, understand it
Be grateful, honor the teacher
And help the learner, enlighten them

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight

Walk with your feet on the ground
Burn with the strength of fire
Flow like running water
You’ll go wherever the wind guides you

But remember it takes courage
And decisions, you control your fate
Things won’t just happen on their own
You’ll build your path to the end of the road

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight

It’s not on the street, not on a mat, not in a ring
The fight of your life is always against yourself
Now and always, live the present intensely
From now on, it’s time to fight
