Eye of the Tiger

I was able to watch Rocky III on Star Movies a few days back and I must admit it is one of the more impactful movies for me. It's a story of a man on top of the world who was brought crashing back down to earth by a determined enemy, losing a mentor in the process; the story of his painful journey to discover himself and his true potential, and finally regaining back the glory he deserved with the support of a new mentor-friend and a loving wife.

While the boxing sequences sometimes looked like a street brawl, the story, coupled with a great soundtrack, makes this movie the greatest Rocky movie of all time.

Here's the lyrics of the theme song:

Eye Of The Tiger
- Survivor -

Risin up, back on the street
Did my time took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
Its the cream of the fight
Risin up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, stayin hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive...

It's the eye of the tiger
Its the cream of the fight
Risin up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin up, straight to the top
Had the guts got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
Its the cream of the fight
Risin up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger......
The eye of the tiger......
The eye of the tiger......
