Just Stand Up - A Cancer Awareness Song

I just wanna share this song i chanced upon to hear this morning on my way to work, the song just captivated me even without knowing the title yet. it turned out that it was a song dedicated to people with cancer, to those who continue to struggle to survive and its survivors.

cancer is a battle that my mom and brother went through but sadly was defeated by it. i cant help but almost shed a tear while hearing the song as i am looking outside the window of the cab yet, with the song's message, just stand up, it gave hope, not just to people left by those who were defeated by it, not just those who are still fighting to survive from it, not just those who live to tell the tale, but to all of us, with or without cancer, it screams the message across all who are inflicted, those that are losing hope... just stand up...

Everything will be alright, yeah

The heart is stronger than you think
Like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though

Sometime you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into your heart, the beat goes on

I’m telling you
Things get better through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
Don’t you know you can go, be your own miracle, you need to know

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what, don’t give up
Through it all, just stand up

It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Just because you go through it
Don’t mean it gotta take control, no (no)

You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Because the heart can beat the hate
Don’t wanna let your mind keep playing you
And saying you can’t go on

I’m telling you,
Things get better through whatever
If you fall, dust if off, don’t let up
Don’t you know you can go, be your own miracle, you need to know

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough (ohh)
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up (don't you be)
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what, don’t give up (don't give up, just stand up)
Through it all, just stand up (just stand up)
Through it all, just stand up

You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
If you fall, dust it off, you can live your life (yeah)
Let your heart be your guide, oh (yeah yeah yeah)
You will know that you’re good if you trust in good
Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
It will get better through whatever

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what, don’t give up
Through it all, just stand up

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what, don’t give up (don't give up, don't give up)
Through it all, just stand up

You got it in you, find it within
You got in ya, find it within ya
You got in you, find it within
You got in you, find it within ya
You got in you, find it within
You got in you, find it within ya
Find it within you, find it within
Through it all, just stand up
