Still standing

Reach for the sky
'Cos you can do anything
Took it on the chin
And you're still standing
Reach for the sky
'Cos you're amazing
Keep on flying high
Win all the races
No one in life is safe
No one in life is immune
No one is exempt
No one is excused
We all have struggles
We all have hardships
We all have our cross to bear
We all have our own pathways
Reach for the sky
'Cos you can do anything
Took it on the chin
And you're still standing
Reach for the sky
'Cos you're amazing
Keep on flying high
Win all the races
I know you're frustrated
I understand how you feel
I know you're angry
This experience is surreal
Please keep on praying
Taking each moment at a time
And step by step you'll find
That you're in a better frame of mind
Reach for the sky
'Cos you can do anything
Took it on the chin
And you're still standing
Reach for the sky
'Cos you're amazing
Keep on flying high
Win all the races
You feel your body has betrayed you
You feel your soul is on fire
You feel your life is off the rails
You feel nothing is going right
But I know you'll get through this
'Cos you're a warrior true
Each person has their lessons
And yours is almost through
Reach for the sky
'Cos you can do anything
Took it on the chin
And you're still standing
Reach for the sky
'Cos you're amazing
Keep on flying high
Win all the races
