Start Over

A couple of months ago, I finally purchased some new music for my iPhone.  One of those was The Afters "Light Up The Sky."

In addition to being a rockin' song that's fun to run with, the lyrics to "We Won't Back Down" carry great mantras.  Here's an excerpt from the lyrics:

We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way

We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up


Another inspiring track on the same album is "Start Over."  This song is especially meaningful to me as I "start over" with my workouts. I often don't want to get out to run, go to boot camp, or hit the gym because I feel like I've lost too much ground.  I know that's a lame excuse and this song pumps me up to get out and just DO it! I pasted the entire song here because it's all just good!  It has a great beat for running, too.


The impossible is possible
But your fear is so responsible for keeping you down.
Your unreachable is reachable
But you'll never grab
The wonderful
with your feet on the ground.

If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late

To start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over

You only fail
If you never try
You'll never live
Tryin' not to die.
I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now.
Don't ever stop,
Give all you've got
Don't hesitate, to take a shot
It all comes around, it all comes around.

There's so much, so much left to gain
There's so much, so much to lose
You'll never know until know until you make a move.
