Stand Back Up

There isn't a video... it's just the picture of the CD cover. Probably because it is an old song. But I just heard it today and it reminded me so much of my motto throughout the last year. I know I didn't really do a full year in review this year.... can you blame me? It was, without a doubt, one of my best and worst years all rolled into one.

But... at the end, no matter what knocked me down, I always stood back up. Last week as J and I were having our "discussion" this is basically what I told him too. He doesn't owe Zack and I anything. If he doesn't want to be in the picture we will be ok. We always have been. We may get knocked down but together him and I will always stand back up.




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,
Youll know just the moment when I've have enough,
Sometimes im afraid,
and i dont 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 youd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
Theres a light that just wont 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 stroms,
But i just turn them into wind, so i can fly,
What dont kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
Thats 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 cant keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes im afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up

Youll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.
