Mar. 28: Stand Back Up

Kathy found this song and has decided it’s, like, a big ol’ middle finger to cancer. I have to agree. Here’s the mp3:

And here are the lyrics:

Go ahead and take your best shot
Let ‘er rip, give it all you’ve got
I’m laid out on the floor, but I’ve been here before
I may stumble, yeah I might fall
I’m only human but aren’t we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say

I will stand back up
You’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid, and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

I’ve been beaten up and bruised
I’ve been kicked right off my shoes
Been down on my knees more times than you’d believe
When the darkness tries to get me
There’s a light that just won’t let me
It might take my pride, and tears may fill my eyes
But I’ll stand back up

I’ve weathered all these storms
But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly
What don’t kill you makes you stronger
When I take my last breath
That’s when I’ll just give up

So, go ahead and take your best shot
Let ‘er rip, give it all you’ve got
You might win this round but you can’t keep me down

‘Cause I’ll stand back up
And you’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

You’ll know just the moment when I’ve had enough
Sometimes I’m afraid and I don’t feel that tough
But I’ll stand back up

Love it.
