Happy birthday to me! One of the best birthday posts on Facebook today was this little gem from Eric. An old favorite of mine. Truly inspirational.

The song is from the Karate Kid soundtrack, but when I hear it, I don’t think of Ralph Macchio, I think of November, the fluffly little kitty on the treadmill. She falls off again and again only to come back stronger! And with such swagger. The lyrics definitely inspire. I’m gonna reach the final bell for sure.
Title: You’re The Best (Joe Esposito)
Try to be best
‘Cause you’re only a man
And a man’s gotta learn to take it
Try to believe
Though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it
History repeats itself
Try and you’ll succeed
Never doubt that you’re the one
And you can have your dreams!
You’re the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the Best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you dow-ow-ow-ow-own
Fight ‘til the end
Cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you
Ah you gotta be proud
starin’ out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you
Try your best to win them all
and one day time will tell
when you’re the one that’s standing there
you’ll reach the final bell!
Chorus
INSPIRING GUITAR SOLO
Fight ‘til you drop
never stop
can’t give up
Til you reach the top (FIGHT!)
you’re the best in town (FIGHT!)
Listen to that sound
A little bit of all you got
Can never bring you down
You’re the best!
Around!
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the Best!
Around!
repeat to fade, occasional background shouts of “Oh Ye-eah!”
You’re da best around…nothin’ is eva’ gonna keep you down!
