I Lived

Print available for this painting

With every broken bone, I swear I Lived. Through challenging experiences, obstacles abound and definitely many a broken a bone, I lived.

For, it is not just the bright times, the easy-going times that carved who we are. No, those blue times, those danger zone times, those falling down and getting back up times, all leave their marks on us.

In fact, I have had many a broken bone in my life, with several surgeries to repair me. But I can honestly say, I took the pain and kept going. So definitely, the pop song by OneRepublic “I Lived” surely resonates with me.

Did you know OneRepublic front-man Ryan Tedder actually wrote the song for his son (Copeland Cruz), who at the time of its penning was four-years old?

OneRepublic – I Lived Lyrics

Hope when you take that jump
You don’t fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
It’s screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You give it all you have
And I hope that you don’t suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes you’ll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Dare to Feel,

 Red
