Spirits
You're in a ring with a 100 foot giant called life
It'll throw lots of curveballs at you with all of its might
But I'll rise above the hate
I'll continue to fight
It can throw punches and kicks
It can push me to the ground
But I'll put on my boxing gloves
And stand up for another round
Life is a game
You just gotta play it right
To win the prize
I'll continue to rise
Above the obstacles in life
I'm gonna keep my spirits
Keep my spirits high
Sometimes, I get scars and bruises too
But I will keep my spirits high
I will get through
I stumble and fall
Make mistakes too
Maybe I'll cry
But I'll continue to thrive
Life is a game
You just gotta play it right
To win the prize
I'll continue to rise
Above the obstacles in life
I'm gonna keep my spirits
Keep my spirits high
This song is dedicated to the memory of Dara Lynn Dratel Sclar.
