Hello everyone, I believe we are having so much fun and learning so much from everyone's survival song.
For me my survival song is none other than Andrea Day's "I ll rise up".
I ve done this song cover severally but never with the guitar. I felt much better even singing it because for me, it describes my survival experience.
As a medical Dr, I often want to give myself a goo reason to go out there to work when I know it's not really the money, no one really want to go through all that stress for money, their are far easier ways to make money this days as even this platform has shown, but going there for me to save lives, people who really don't even have what it takes to really appreciate and even if they do, it can't even be enough. So then why go out, what keeps me going out there, why should I even rise up we everyday for such.
I consider a mother who always seems the best for her children, I consider a Father wanting to provide for his home, I recall my mum say if she chose to have a better life, she probably won't have had us, and said we where the best thing that happened to her. These things make me want to keep thriving and not just survive. Because I know if I thrive, more will not just survive, but thrive as well. A deliberate effort to go against the tides of life and overcome the challenges is golden and that's why I love this song.
We are all broken and tired and living life on a merrygoround, but when we find the force inside to push through, we get what we seek and start wanting more.
Life is victorious when we fight the right way. Winning is assure for us all. We all shall survive.
Here is the lyrics
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
… And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
… For you
For you
For you
For you
… When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
And move mountains
… And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
… For you
For you
For you
For you
… All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We'll rise, oh, oh
We'll rise
… I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we'll rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again
… For you
For you
For you
For you
… Ah, ah, ah, ah
.....
I added some lines myself and changed some words.
