Unspoken - Good Fight Lyrics
Lyrics
Until you stop breathing
Until you stop bleeding
Until your heart stops kick-drum beating
When it's hard times
When it's long days
And the enemy is right up in your face
When your back's against the ropes and you're feeling all alone
Keep fighting the good fight (Never give up, never give up)
Keep letting your light shine (Holding it high as long as you live)
'Cause I'm never gonna leave you
Always gonna see you through to the other side
Keep fighting the good fight, fighting the good, fighting the good fight, good fight
Even in the road blocks (yeah)
Even through the rough spots
When you're feeling you've given all that you've got
With you you in the next step
Giving you in the next breath
I'll be the voice saying "You're gonna make it"
When you're out there on your own
You are never alone
Keep fighting the good fight (Keep fighting the good fight) (Never give up, never give up)
Keep letting your light shine (Keep letting your light shine) (Holding it high as long as you live)
'Cause I'm never gonna leave you
Always gonna see you through to the other side
Keep fighting the good fight, fighting the good, fighting the good fight, good fight
Just keep on singing (Keep on singing)
And keep on dancing (Just keep on dancing)
Joy will be your banner
And My love will be your anthem
And you may never know what your tomorrow holds
But you can know that I am holding your tomorrow
Keep fighting the good fight
Keep letting your light shine
Keep fighting the good fight (Keep fighting the good fight) (Never give up, never give up)
Keep letting your light shine (Keep letting your light shine) (Holding it high as long as you live)
'Cause I'm never gonna leave you
Always gonna see you through to the other side
Keep fighting the good fight, fighting the good, fighting the good fight, good fight
Fighting the good fight

Meaning & Inspiration
Unspoken's "Good Fight," released in 2013 as part of their self-titled album, is a powerful anthem of unwavering perseverance in the face of adversity. At its core, the song speaks to the human experience of enduring hardship, described with visceral imagery of “bleeding” and a heart “kick-drum beating” through difficult times. It paints a picture of being cornered, of facing overwhelming odds when the “enemy is right up in your face.” This struggle, however, is not met with despair but with a resounding call to action: to continue the “good fight” and to let one's inner light “shine.” The message is one of profound hope and solidarity, asserting that no one is truly alone, even when feeling isolated.
The lyrics resonate deeply with biblical themes of steadfastness and divine support. The repeated encouragement to "never give up" echoes the apostle Paul's exhortation in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The promise, "'Cause I'm never gonna leave you, Always gonna see you through to the other side," strongly aligns with God's unchanging presence and faithfulness. Deuteronomy 31:6 assures us, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." The song’s depiction of offering strength and encouragement, being the “voice saying 'You're gonna make it,'” mirrors the support God provides, as seen in Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Further enriching the song's spiritual depth, the bridge offers a beautiful image of finding joy and strength amidst uncertainty. The command to "keep on singing" and "keep on dancing" transforms into a declaration that "Joy will be your banner, and My love will be your anthem." This evokes the spirit of Psalm 30:11, "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness," and Psalm 150:6, which encourages, "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD." The acknowledgment that one may "never know what your tomorrow holds" but can trust that "I am holding your tomorrow" is a profound testament to faith in God's sovereign plan and provision, reminiscent of Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have and plans to give you hope and a future.'" Overall, "Good Fight" is an inspiring reminder that even in life's most challenging moments, the source of our strength and the guarantee of our eventual triumph lie in a persistent faith and the unwavering love that sees us through.
