"The Climb" David Sides ft. Ahmir

Weary Ain't Dead

No matter how tired,
   tested,
   bested,
   broken,
   weary,
   ravaged,
   afraid,
   ragged,
   wiped,
   hurting,
   saddened,
   disappointed,
   weak,
   disillusioned,
   directionless,
   confused,
   whelmed,
   distracted,
   depressed,
   frustrated,
   or abused you are at this moment in time....

If there is an ounce of breath in you, the fight's
not muthah-fucking over yet.

Get your ass in the ring and do what you have to do.

********************************************

Nothing But the Push

It doesn't matter the length of time,

or the difficulty of the terrain,

the absence of supporters or witnesses,

how torn up and hassled and spent you are,

or how many times you have stop to get a second wind....

so long as you keep getting back up,

keep pushing through the pain,

believe in yourself,

and give it your personal best.

The race is won by those who

don't give up.

Period.

'Last place' still crosses

the damned finish line.
