I recently bought Rascal Flatt's newest cd, Me and My Gang. The very first song on it is called "Stand." The message it sends is so powerful and uplifting. Here it is. . .

Verse 1
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Chorus
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend til you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off.
Then you stand, then you stand.

Verse 2
Life's like a novel
with the end ripped out;
The edge of a canyon,
With only one way down.
Take what you're given
Before it's gone.
Start holding on, keep holding on.

Chorus

Verse 3
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

Chorus again to end.

The first time I heard that song--really stopped and listened to that song, it reminded me of my fight to get my self esteem back and to grow a backbone (figuratively speaking). It's been a tough battle, but I'm making it and it's worth it. You can make it too, just don't give up. WE'RE WORTH IT!!!!
