A Country Girl's POTS/EDS Anthem

Ironically, one of my best friends put this Rascal Flatts song on a mix CD for me on my 22nd birthday right before I got sick. Since then, the lyrics have taken on a whole new meaning. I relate to music much differently now than I did before I got sick. That's what life experience and struggle bring to the table. A deeper understanding and appreciation of language and lyrics. 

You feel like a candle in a hurricaneJust like a picture with a broken frameAlone and helpless, like you've lost your fightBut you'll be alright, you'll be alright
‘Cause when push comes to shoveYou taste what you're made ofYou might bend ‘til you break‘Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look upDecide you've had enoughYou get mad, you get strongWipe your hands, shake it offThen you stand, then you stand
Life's like a novel with the end ripped outThe edge of a canyon with only one way downTake what you're given before it's goneAnd start holdin' on, keep holdin' on
‘Cause when push comes to shoveYou taste what you're made ofYou might bend ‘til you break‘Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look upDecide you've had enoughYou get mad, you get strongWipe your hands, shake it offThen you stand, yeah, then you stand
Every time you get upAnd get back in the raceOne more small piece of youStarts to fall into place, yeah
‘Cause when push comes to shoveYou taste what you're made ofYou might bend ‘til you break‘Cause it's all you can take
Yeah, then you stand
