Stay Strong

Your life comes crashing down
When you hear the doctor tell you
That the disease you have
Doesn’t come with a cure
You feel like hope is lost
And there’s nothing left to do
But I say to you

Stay strong
Because your fight has just begun
Stay strong
And face another day
Stay strong
And look sickness in the eye
Shout, “GET AWAY FROM ME!
I am going to fight!”
Stay strong
Stay strong

Some people may say
You don’t have a chance
You may as well just give up
Well, they don’t know what they
Are talking about
They don’t know what you can do
So I say to you

Stay strong
Because your fight has just begun
Stay strong
And face another day
Stay strong
And look sickness in the eye
Shout, “GET AWAY FROM ME!
I am going to fight!”
Stay strong
Stay strong


When you’re down on your knees
About to give up
You don’t think you can take one more step
Open your eyes
Just look around
See everyone
Everyone that cares…
And that’s why you fight!

Stay strong
Because your fight has just begun
Stay strong
And face another day
Stay strong
And look sickness in the eye
Shout, “GET AWAY FROM ME!
I am going to fight!
Stay strong
For your family
Stay strong
For your friends
Stay strong
And a cure will be found
Stay strong
Stay strong


Dedicated to my grandma, Patricia Bermes, who had MS until the day she went to heaven.
