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 change your passion for glory
   Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
   You must fight just to keep them alive
  
   Chorus:
   It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
   Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
   And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
   And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
  
   Face to face, out in the heat
   Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
   They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
   For we kill with the skill to survive
  
   Chorus:
   It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
   Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
   And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
   And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
  
   Risin' up, straight to the top
   Have the guts, got the glory
   Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
   Just a man and his will to survive
  
   Chorus:
   It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
   Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
   And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
   And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
  
   The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...
