Watch the video below by the Gym Class Heroes, "The Fighter."

And if I can last thirty rounds There's no reason you should ever have your head down Six foot five, two hundred and twenty pounds Hailing from rock bottom, loserville, nothing town Text book version of a kid going nowhere fast And now I'm yelling.. It's gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs For you to recognize you really ain't got it bad

//[Bridge]// Until the referee rings the bell Until both your eyes start to swell Until the crowd goes home What we gonna do ya'll? Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me  There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter Here comes the fighter  That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me, This one's a fighter

Dreams Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. //Langston Hughes//

This is an audio recording of American poet, Langston Hughes, reading his poems, "The Dreamkeeper" and "Dreams" in succession. It's from "The Voice of Langston Hughes."
