Risin up
back on the street
did my time took my …(a)…
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 …(b)… for glory
don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them …(c)…

It’s the eye of the tiger
its the thrill 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 …(d)…
stayin …(e)…
the stack the …(f)… still we take to the street
for the kill with the skill to survive…

It’s the eye of the tiger
its the thrill 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 thrill 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


This was the theme song to Rocky III, which was the biggest movie of 1982. Tony Scotti was the president of Survivor’s record label, and he played Sylvester Stallone some tracks from the previous Survivor album, Premonition. Stallone thought the sound, writing style and street appeal could fit in his new movie, so he called called Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan, who were Survivor’s primary songwriters, and left messages on their answering machines. Says Peterik, “Answering machines were still something of a novelty back then and to see that blinking light was a thrill. When I pressed the playback button I heard, “Hey, yo, Jim, that’s a nice message you got there. This is Sylvester Stallone.’ It was too thick to be really him, but it was him. That’s really the way he talks.”
