On my playlist

I was going to make a post with several songs in it...but I decided this song needed it's own post. This has been a very rough year for me, and this has been like my theme song. I would get in my car and literally sing along as loud as I could as if I was yelling at all around me and even more specifically at the devil himself. The first time you hear it you may just think it is a silly, fun song. Oh...but it has been so much more for me. Read the words.

"One More Round", sung by Barlowgirl

Round one wasn't what I thought it'd be

Round two I'm struggling to breath

3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times I wondered why I stepped inside this ring

I may be knocked down and bruised

But I'm here to tell you

That I may be knocked down but not for the count

So take me one more round

I'll just keep fighting

One more round

You're messing me up but I'm still here

One more round I'll come out swinging

One more round

I'm telling you now I'm not gonna lose it

It's so hard to get up off the floor again

But I know that victory is when

I'm pushing through the pain that tries to feed me lies

that I won't reach the end

I may be bloodied and so bruised

But I'm here to tell you

That I may be knocked down but not for the count

So take me one more round I'll just keep fighting one more round

You're messing me up but I'm still here

One more round

I'll come out swinging

One more round

I'm telling you now I'm not gonna lose it

I am not defeated

Though you cannot see it

I have never won a battle on my own

I find strength in weakness

I find hope in believing

God is for me who can bring me down?

So take me one more round

I'll just keep fighting

One more round

You're messing me up but I'm still here

One more round

I'll come out swinging one more round

I'm telling you now I'm not gonna lose it here

I'm not gonna go down now

Try to bring me

I'll come out swinging
