What Would You Find?

This song has become my new personal anthem. No matter what the Universe throws at me, no matter what I lose or gain, I will still be me. I will pick up the pieces of my life and start over. I can go through things that leave me broken and bleeding, but I heal and come out stronger despite the scars. So bring it on!

The lyrics are the best I have heard in a long time and I heard the song at a time when I NEEDED to hear them. Their not the most poetical but they are frank and to the point. Incredibly uplifting.


"Every day I fight for all my future somethings. A thousand little wars I have to choose between. I could spend a lifetime earning things that I don't need. But that's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty.

"And if you strip me--strip it all away--if you strip me, what would you find? If you strip me, strip it all away, I'll be all right.

"Take what you want. Steal my pride. Build me up or cut me down to size. Shut me out but I'll just scream. I'm only one voice in a million but you ain't taking that from me.

"I don't need a microphone to say what I've been thinking. My heart is like a loud speaker that's always on eleven.

"And if you strip me--strip it all away--if you strip me, what would you find? If you strip me, strip it all away, I'm still the same.

"Take what you want. Steal my pride. Build me up or cut me down to size. Shut me out but I'll just scream. I'm only one voice in a million but you ain't taking that from me.

" 'Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day, it's what you do and say that makes you who you are. Makes you think about, think about it. Sometimes all it takes is one voice.

I am so much stronger than I thought I was. Grateful for people in my life who encourage that strength and see more than I do. I must be a pretty neat person if my friends like me, because they are some of the most amazing people I know.
