    This song was hard to sing!

    I avoid songs that have so many words because they make me run out of breath. So singing this song was a bit difficult but I rehearsed to know where I could take short breaths before continuing and I was able to scale through. Hallelujah!

    There are so many songs I know that fit into this week's theme "nothing is impossible." Ironically, it we difficult to pick one because most of these songs had powerful performances. I mean if you're singing about strength, your vocals have to show it too.

    As a Singer (not professionally though), I am very careful about the type of songs I sing because I understand I have a very soft vocal texture so I don't take powerful songs. So after disqualifying almost all the songs on my list, I decided to pick this particular song.

    The title of this song is UNDERDOG and it was sung by ALICIA KEYS.

    Who is an Underdog? According to Oxford Dictionary, an Underdog is a competitor thought to have little chance of winning a fight or contest.

    If you know me, you will know I'm a huge fan of Alicia Keys. When this song was released, I became obsessed immediately. I have been to places in my life where God has uplifted me even when I know I never deserved it. This reminds me that no matter where I come from or what people think about me, I can always rise above it and choose my definitions by myself.

    So I'm daring someone to believe the lyrics of this song and RISE today. Here are the lyrics and I hope you enjoy the song.

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
    He was nameless, he was homeless
    She asked him his name and told him what hers was
    He gave her a story 'bout a life
    With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
    One conversation, a simple moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up, sometimes

    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the frontline knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
    Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
    On the run from a country where they put you in prison
    For being a woman and speaking your mind
    She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
    One conversation, a single moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up, sometimes

    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the frontline knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Everybody rise up
    You gonna rise up, ay

    I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the frontline knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
