The first single released by White Lion from the 1989 album “Big Game”.
Little Fighter is a song about a Greenpeace boat The Rainbow Warrior that was destroyed by operatives of the French intelligence service in an New Zealand harbor in 1985
Are you cryin’ tonight, are you
Feelin’ alright
I’ll tell the world that you are,
Down on your luck, you were
One of the kind
One who’d never give in
Even when they put a price on your head
Of all the glam/pop-metal bands that crawled out of hair salons coast to coast during the mid- to late '80s, one of the more talented acts was New York's White Lion, led by singer Mike Tramp (originally from Denmark) and guitarist Vito Bratta.
Has anyone heard the tales you tell
Or seen the scars you wear
Did anyone speak up when you fell
Does anybody care
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do
And you were one with a cause,
And a reason to be
You were a fighter for peace
On this earth
And you were never afraid
You put your life on the line
And you were always alone
Out on the sea
Without a weapon in your hand
You came to fight a war
They took your life, but didn’t know
That you would never die
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do
Are you feelin’ alright
‘Cause I care
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don’t let ’em end the things you do
