Have you ever heard a song and said "that describes me perfectly??" or
"that really sums up my life.."

well, I have had this cd since it came out but for some reason have never listened to this song until today. and it is that song...it describes my life perfectly. I had a very very hard life growing up. up until the last 4 years...my entire life was one trial after another...and all of my friends tell me all of the time that I am sooooo strong. I have never looked at it that way...I just figure..I am living. This is life..right???

anyway...These are the lyrics to Sugarlands song "Stand Back Up". If you ever get a chance to listen to it with the music...the words really speak volumes.

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 ive 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.
