V1
I love to laugh at life,
With all its ups and downs.
I love to tease and joke,
It brings a smile around.
Always I see the bright side,
I never dwell on a frown.
V2
It wasn’t very long ago,
I had a dance with Death.
He appeared out of nowhere,
Demanding my last breath.
He called himself “The Mr. C,
It was a dance of life or death.
Chorus
I said “You don’t scare me, Mr. C,
I never give up, I dance endlessly.
So make it as hard, as fast as you like,
You don’t realize I love a good fight!
So come on, Mr. C. and do your worst,
It’s going to be you that bows out first.”
V3
He pulled me against him and held me real tight,
In a fast, evil tango that soon became a fight.
He twirled me in circles, around and around,
Relaxed his grip and I fell hard to the ground.
Dragged me by the hair tried to pull it all out,
Hot mists of pain made me scream and shout.
V4
I stood up to him again my back was straight
Swearing to myself this would not be my fate.
I stared him down and said “Ready Mr. C?
I’ll never give up this fight, between you and me
Then he backed away and quit saying with a grin,
“You’re too tough for me today you have your win!”
Repeat Chorus
Bridge out
Hear my message from me to you
Never give up, whatever you do
If you’re in the fight with Mr. C
Fight with every breath you breathe
You’re tougher than you think, you will see!
What your heart believes will bring you Victory!
