Singer/songwriter Michael Bolton had an extensive, though not very successful, career under his real name, Michael Bolotin, before emerging in the mid-'80s as a major soft rock balladeer. He turned up on RCA Records in the mid-'70s singing in a gruff, Joe Cocker-like voice both his own blue-eyed soul songs and cover tunes. Neither record buyers nor critics were much interested by the result. He then became the lead singer in Blackjack, a heavy metal band that made two albums for Polydor at the end of the '70s and the start of the '80s. In 1983, he changed his name to Michael Bolton, signed to Columbia Records as a solo act, and relaunched his career.

Fighting for My Life Lyrics
Michael Bolton
Here I am, thinking of you
Things we say and things we do
Doesnt seem long ago
I was holding you so safe and warm
Suddenly my life is changed
And I find myself like a ship in a raging storm
Im fighting to hold on, will you look at me now
Chorus:
Fighting for my life, fighting for my life
Im back against the wall, fighting for my life
Fighting, fighting for my life
I recall, the days of my youth, my head in the air
My back to the truth
Runnin from the good things I had
My hunger for a piece of the game
Now I find those days are gone
And Im hanging on
I know it can never be the same
Im fighting to hold on, will you look at me now
Ooh yeah ooh oh yeah, baby ooh oh
Ive been at the corner for the longest time
I have gone the distance with the will to survive
I tell you one thing, I cant always be right
Gonna live, gonna live every day like its the last one I got
Im fighting to hold on
Chorus:
Fighting for my life, Im fighting for my life
