When life knocks you down and kicks you around, kick it back.

Climb that mountain
Break through that wall
Destroy that barrier
Don’t accept the fall
Stand up straight
Stand up Tall
Stand up proud
Say it to yourself
But say it loud
Accept the challenge
Piss on defeat
Forget dismay
Grit your teeth
And get out there
And have a great day
Don’t back down
And don’t look away
Jump right back up
And go find your way
Persistence and determination
Can only do good
And free your mind
To do things
You never thought you could.
