Hey Stroke Time To Fight

HEY STROKE TIME TO FIGHT

I didn’t give up
Yes, you made me tired of trying
But now I’m rested
Now I’m ready to improve more
Ready to keep going to 100%
Hey Stroke, time to fight

Love the challenge
You are a competitor
OK I’ll play
You’re on defense
Me versus you
Hey Stroke, time to fight

My first play is not in your book
I love people
I love life, even with the Stroke
You can’t beat what you don’t understand
Hey Stroke, time to fight

I read everything about you
Progress being made to fight you
My gains are slow
But they still come
Hey Stroke, time to fight

Discouragement, not going to happen
I will not be discouraged
I will win, you will lose
Stroke friends always encourage me
And I encourage them to fight you
You got some of them worse
But they fight their fight
Hey Stroke, time to fight

For those who believe
My biggest weapon everyone doesn’t have
You choose not to
I prefer to
Prayer to God for strength,
Understanding, determination
Last the discipline to fight 
Against you and other life obstacles
The game is big
Thank you, God, for holding my hand 
Hey Stroke, time to fight
Amen
