Something To Fight For
Written by Karliene Reynolds

-- | LYRICS |--

I've been out in this world alone
All I've known is rot and ruin, blood and bone
Those I've loved are all dead or gone
Promise you won't leave me now

You've been lost in a world so changed
Hardened by the coldest winter, numbed by pain
You're so fierce, but you feel so safe
Promise you won't leave me now

I've seen too much
I've not seen enough
Don't leave me here
I'll just be frightened
You've lost too much
But you have my trust
Don't leave me here
'Cause we've got something
Something to fight for

Stay with me, and we'll find a way
Look beyond the rot and ruin; hope remains
There's a bond that we can't explain
Promise you won't leave me now

I've seen too much
I've not seen enough
Don't leave me here
I'll just be frightened
You've lost too much
But you have my trust
Don't leave me here
'Cause we've got something

I'm not scared of the blood and bone
All the monsters beneath the stone
I'm just scared that I'll watch you go
Promise you won't leave me now

I've seen too much
I've not seen enough
Don't leave me here
I'll just be frightened
You've lost too much
But you have my trust
Don't leave me here
'Cause we've got something

This fits Joel and Ellie and their relationship so perfectly that the song let me tear up. What an amazing song.

[paulmccormick]

You follow "Wake The Witch", arguably the album full of the best lyrics, music, and vocals of the year, with this newest example of your amazing lyrics and incomparable voice and I am left scrambling for the right words, again. You are absolutely the best ever, my friend.❤

[brolydz]

My favourite game with my favourite singer, what can I ask more ?
I listened to the song on your site, I have not a single word so let's keep it short : Perfection. It fits so well to Joel and Ellie, their adventure to survive and carry each other.
Thank you Karliene. Honestly.

[OCCULTPREPPER]

You have a mystical and ethereal voice. Thank you for all your musical contributions, i truly love your music and vocals.

[awk-wordwriter]

The way that Joel and Ellie are so similar that either of them could be singing these.lyrics is a beautiful touch that warms my heart.

[ShaawtyB]

This fits Last of Us perfectly, sheesh woman, your talent knows no bounds 🇦🇺🤙🏽🤎

[RosemaryMoonriseMusic]

To be honest I've never played or watched it. But still love the song. It has that Miracle of Sound quality - without knowing the story it still makes sense and touches you anyway. Your music is absolutely a testament that even sparser arrangements can pack a punch 💚🎶

[tenshi]

Wow, this game me chills. Karliene and the Last of Us ? Sign me in! Another amazing piece!

[RoxaneGenot]

This was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely the atmosphere you created, and the guitar is a beautiful addition mixed with your angelic voice. I haven't even seen the show, but this definitely makes me want to. Beautiful <3

[CrownedOneReborn]

As someone who just finished the game for the first time and plans to watch the show soon, this song made me emotional all over again! 😢 Beautiful work as always, Karliene! ❤️

[EmberScribe]

As always, an amazing song. Been having a creative block with a story I'm writing, and hearing this song just gave me the perfect storyline ending for one of the characters.

I'm so glad I listened to Miracle of Sound's "My Odyssey".

[Andy_from_de]

I'm so here for all your music. Yours is the longest running Patreon membership I have (since mid-2017) and one I will never cancel.

[SorrenRaclaw]

Such a gorgeous song! Your voice and music really capture the feeling of having to journey together through an empty and dangerous world. Thank you so much for sharing this song. :)

[desertstar]

A beautiful encapsulation of Joel and Ellie's relationship. Are you considering doing another song for season 2? That one's going to leave me a mess, I know it.

[lizzyrank]

Dang, didn't know this was a fan song. If they somehow ever use this, that'd be awesome. Even still this is such a beautiful song. And it fits the world so much.💜

[amandacassidy]

oh, I love, love, LOVE your voice ❤
And to it you add such beautiful lyrics and vocals...
I'm supposed to study for my three graduation exams coming this week, so I thought music would be necessary and squealed happily when I saw your upload. Now I'm sitting here, crying as hard as I last did when you published "Fly, little pelican" from the "Anne Bonny" album, still listening to this latest masterpiece of yours XD

[iemne]

Your voice is out of this world🥺. Love your songs, they're such an amazing inspiration❤️

[Karolina-sudo]

Since the first time I watched The last of us I knew it's something special and that it will stay with me forever. Thank you, this song is just beautifull. 😭 💙💚

[dianafriend]

Beautiful, listen to this again and again, we are all in the battle for the mind, one collective mind of those who would seek without quitting what is the truth for all of humanity, may your words continue to gather them. All are from different walks of life, yet our inner heart leads us closer together. From studying at KabU, has brought me to importance of the bond of all of us.

[BiBoFan]

Gorgeous song 🥺❤️ I love your music so inspirational 💗
