I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.

I learned from you that I do not crumble. I learned that strength is something you choose.

There's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move, Always gonna be a uphill battle, Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose, Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side, It's the climb.

To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition. Even when they comin, gunnin I stand position.

This old world keeps spinnin' round; It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down.

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand, under an old street light near a garbage can.
