Rocky Inspired Rebecca!

I borrowed the DVD titled ‘Rocky IV’ to watch with Rebecca this afternoon. It’s my favorite episode of the 5 sequels so far, with the 6th & final sequel to be released in year 2007.

I was surprised that Rebecca found the show inspiring & even went to search out the lyrics of two of the songs which spoke to her! I totally didn’t expect that! And I’m so glad that she enjoyed the show & found it meaningful…

After having not watched this show for quite a long time, I actually shed a tear when I watched how determined Rocky was during his strict training. I actually teared! Wow… it’s been a long time… but it got me inspired again…

And even during the fight scene at the end of the show, where I watched Rocky getting knocked down so many times during the boxing match with Drago. It just warmed my heart & encouraged me to get up every time I fall… be it literally or metaphorically, when referring to my job search & other parts of my life.

Rebecca also laughed when I kept on singing the phrase, “Living in America!” several times that afternoon. *Laugh*… =)

But seriously, the lyrics of those two songs which Rebecca likes, has nice & meaningful lyrics. I used to listen & sing when I was studying during my school days. Here are the lyrics…

Hearts On Fire (John Cafferty)

Silent darkness creeps into your soul
And removes the light of self-control
The cave that holds you captive has no doors
Burnin' with determination to even up the score

Chorus:
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
The moment of truth draws near

Time will not allow you to stand still, no
Silence breaks the heart and bends the will
And things that give deep passions are your sword
Rules and regulations have no meaning anymore


No Easy Way Out (Robert Tepper)

We're not indestructible
Baby better get that straight
I think it's unbelievable
How you give into the hands of fate

Some things are worth fighting for
Some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just wanna know why

Chorus:
There's no easy way out
There's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out
Givin' in can't be wrong

I don't wanna pacify you
I don't wanna drag you down
But I'm feelin’ like a prisoner
Like a stranger in a no named town

I see all the angry faces
Afraid that it could be you and me
Talkin’ about what might have been
I'm thinkin’ about what I used to be

Bridge:
Baby, we can shed this skin
We can know how we feel this way
Instead of goin’ down an endless road
Not knowin’ if we're dead or alive

Some things are worth fighting for
Some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just wanna know why
