When Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” was first heard, its message inspired many. In a world where the focus is often on differences, there is one thing that unites us all – struggle. Everyone wishes to have a fighting chance, and to make the most of their lives. The path towards achieving this is not easy, it requires us to fight. Not against each other, but against the obstacles that are determined to keep us from reaching our goals.
