Literally finished around 10 minutes or so ago, JUST uploaded ... all feedback very welcome, thanks for listening!

I have a particular thanks to give to PG Music for this one ... the backing track is just PERFECT, in my view at least, for what I intended to do with this song. You'll hear why, I think, when you listen to it. THANK YOU, Dr. Gannon and EVERYONE at PG Music - my songs would never have existed without Band-in-a-Box.

Worth Fighting For

EDIT: In the cold light of day, I've done an alternative version, too, taking away the first piano. It may have been meandering too much, and detracting from the harmonies, I'm not sure - which is why I've left the original version up, too, for people to compare to this other one if they so wish to do. Please note that the second version is louder than the first, so please mind your volume levels and your ears when listening - thanks smile

Worth Fighting For (Version 2)

On comparing them, now, I think I still prefer the first version ... argh!!! But there we are ... see what you like smile If you only have time to listen to one version, perhaps listen to the first one? Thanks smile

EDIT NO. 2: Following everyone's wonderful and extremely kind advice, I've produced a third (hopefully final!) version ... hope this is ok, now? All feedback VERY gratefully received!!!!!

Worth Fighting For (3rd Version)


THE LYRICS:

I know
That you want to go away
"There's no point", you think
If you stay ...

I know
That it is your stance
Not to give us, both,
That one more chance

And yet, if you go, right now
You'll never know what could have been
So, please, before you close that door
Remember: we're worth fighting for.

We're worth fighting for.

I know
That you think we're scarred
By our history, and yes,
It's hard

To drop
All our pride, you see,
Give us one more chance
At victory

And yet, if you do go, right now,
We might as well have never been,

So, please, before you do decide
To close this one last door
Remember, baby, we're but human
But our love's worth fighting for.

WE are worth fighting for.
