Everybody is Kung fu fighting,
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening (a little bit frighting)
It's the book of your life that you're writing
You're a diamond in the rough,
A brilliant ball of clay,
You can be a work of art,
If you just go all the way,
Now what would it take to break?
I believe that you can bend,
Not only do you have to fight,
But you have got to win,
Everybody is Kung fu fighting,
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening (a little bit frighting)
It's the book of your life that you're writing (life that you're writing)
You are a natural,
Why is it so hard to see?
Maybe its just because,
you keep on looking at me
The journeys a lonely one,
So much more than we know
But, sometimes youve got to go
Go on and be your own hero.
'Cause everybody is Kung fu fighting, (Kung fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening (a little bit frighting)
It's the book of your life that you're writing (life that you're writing)
Youre a diamond in the rough,
A brilliant ball of clay,
You can be a work of art,
If you just go all the way,
Now what would it take to break?
I believe that you can bend,
Not only do you have to fight,
But you have got to win,
'Cause everybody is Kung fu fighting, (Kung fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning.
Although the future is a little bit frightening (a little bit frighting)
It's the book of your life that you're writing
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it is a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
Before the battle of the fist
Comes the battle of the mind
When you don't know who you are
Just look inside
When we move into the flow
We're always gonna win
So feel the power
And let it in
Wo ho ho oh~
Kung fu fighting
Wo ho ho oh~
What we're finding
Wo ho ho oh~
Little bit frightening
Wo ho ho oh~
So enlightening
