Motivation Monday – Alter Bridge: “My Champion”

If there is one thing Myles Kennedy can do (besides everything), it’s pen an encouraging song that hits you right in the feelings. The first time I ever listened to Alter Bridge’s “My Champion,” I cried. The lyrics are so beautiful, and I often listen to this song to remind myself that I’m where I’m supposed to be.

My favorite line? Well, it’s a full phrase within a longer lyric. “…your destiny is not defined by what you’ve failed to see…” I think that is such an important thing to remember.

So for anyone out there who is currently struggling or doubting choices you’ve made or where you’re headed, crank this one loud. And commit these words to heart.

“My Champion”

May this be your victory song
A song for you when I am gone
Reminding you of what you’re meant to be

A gift to bring you clarity
To show you that your destiny
Is not defined by what you’ve failed to see, no

May this lift you up
When you feel you’ll fall again
You cannot win, oh
Hope these words are enough
For you to be strong, my friend

Sometimes you fall before you rise
Sometimes you lose it all to find
You’ve gotta keep fighting, and get back up again
My champion
Oh, my champion

You’ve lost so many times it hurts
But failures made are lessons learned
‘Cause in the end what you are will be much more
Than you were

May this lift you up
When you feel you’ll fall again
You cannot win, oh
Hope these words are enough
For you to be strong, my friend

Sometimes you fall before you rise
Sometimes you lose it all to find
You’ve gotta keep fighting, and get back up again
My champion

Don’t ever run away
For every fear you face
You will survive and be much more
Than you were, oh

Sometimes you fall before you rise
Sometimes you lose it all to find
You’ve gotta keep fighting, and get back up again

The world’s gonna try and knock you out
Just pick yourself up when you go down
You’ve gotta keep fighting, and get back up again
My champion
Oh, my champion

My champion
My champion

Throwback Thursday: “If You Could Only See” by Tonic

Three TBTs in a row? This might be a trend I manage to keep up with.

I actually made a 90s playlist on Spotify and “If You Could Only See” was one of the songs I considered a must-add. Of course, I appreciate it much more as a woman in her 30s than I did as a teen. Haha! Give it a listen and embrace the nostalgia!
