Fight Song by Rachel Platten

Like a small boatOn the oceanSending big wavesInto motionLike how a single wordCan make a heart openI might only have one matchBut I can make an explosion

(Bridge) And all those things I didn't sayWrecking balls inside my brainI will scream them loud tonightCan you hear my voice this time?

(Chorus) This is my fight songTake back my life songProve I'm alright songMy power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strongI'll play my fight songAnd I don't really care if nobody else believes'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleepEverybody's worried about meIn too deepSay I'm in too deep (in too deep)And it's been two years I miss my homeBut there's a fire burning in my bonesStill believeYeah, I still believe

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

And I don't really care if nobody else believes'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boatOn the oceanSending big wavesInto motionLike how a single wordCan make a heart openI might only have one matchBut I can make an explosion

(Chorus)

Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Success is Counted Sweetest by Emily Dickinson

Success is counted sweetestBy those who ne'er succeed.To comprehend a nectarRequires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple HostWho took the Flag todayCan tell the definitionSo clear of Victory

As he defeated--dying--On whose forbidden earThe distant strains of triumphBurst agonized and clear!
