Stand Back Up

Words stolen from Sugarland

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
Only human 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 my 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 to 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.

Strong words for a strong woman. One of my favorites since the first time I heard the song.
