Just keep swimming

by Bradley Peter   Sep 20, 2005


If your taking some hits
take them on the chin
draw on your strength
that lies within

your a fighter so fight
return a blow or two
its not time to say goodnight
show them what you can do

a lost is one thing
as long as the battle is won
win in the end
do what has to be done

don't be the outcast
and don't be the fool
show them you'll last
and show them you'll rule

you could stay on the floor
but excitement's in your blood
so get up for more
and succeed in every place

you may have bleed
sustained a cut
but your not yet dead
so your mouth isn't shut

power to the people
and you take the lead
open their eyes to the world
where they can succeed

dust off your clothes
and clean up your shoes
because everybody knows
you do as you choose

your blood's been shed before
and it will be shed again
but this is now
and that was then

struggling in our nature
so struggle we must
take on the creator
until the day your dust

    I agree 100%
    Strength.
    We al possess but some don't use it.
    And most abuse it.
