Lyrics | Just Stand Up To Cancer lyrics - Just Stand Up lyrics

Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas.
It is better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees
Emiliano Zapata Salazar

Cancer is such a gloomy thing. It is hard to be positive when all you see is the end. It's like the axe can fall anytime, taking with it all the joy of life that was once there.
If we focus only on the end, all that goes between becomes insignificant, it holds no meaning anymore.
Why live when you would die anyway?
Why hope when there is no chance of cure?
Why love when it will be lost?
For me it is because we are not born to be losers. We are not born to mope around, shouting to everyone, "I am hurt! I am diseased! The end is near!" and then skulk back to a dark corner, thinking how unfair life is.
If the reason we are born is to die, then why hang around?
Are you that insignificant?
We are all given the chance to live until a certain period of time. That is a known fact (although it is easy to forget that sometimes). Death is a natural part of life ===> we live,therefore we die. If there is no death, would there be life? No.
We are born to this world for a purpose. You, as an individual would have to try with everything you can to leave a mark in this world. It doesn't have to be something so major that it is written in history, small things do count. Be someone worthwhile, be all that you can be. Make a difference in someone else's life. Be a good friend, be someone's sweetheart, be someone's teacher, be a good parent. All of this count in defining who you are as a person, who you aspire to be. You have a role to play, so play it well. Don't be too selfish and just think about yourself: how unfair the game of life turn out to be, how unfortunate of you to have all problems going your way. Just because you don't like what was given to you, don't mean you can quit the game and just wait until your time run out.

It's like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Just because you go through it
Don't mean it got to take control, no

You are a part of something important, something much more than who we are singularly, then your life is worth saving. Save your own life! If you, yourself don't think it is worth anything then rest assured that no one would think otherwise. Fight for the right to live! Don't give up, believe in yourself.
So what if you have only 5 years to live?
So what if you only have 5 days to live?
Those are only predictions from people that don't even know when they themselves are going to die. Those predictions are just empty numbers. They don't control you life, you don't either. Your life: to live or die is in Allah's power. What you can do is only to fight with all your might and hold on to your faith. Don't ask stupid meaningless questions like:
Why does this happen to me?
I've been good, why is God unkind to me?
To this date, there is no cure for cancer. So be strong. You only have yourself and God. Others can only support you so far. This is your journey, how are you going to get through it?
Reflect on this:

Who are we to be
Questioning
Wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all
Just stand up

Looking at the people closest to me, I am amazed by the desire to fight. The heart can never rest if it didn't do all it can to overcome this. This is no time to be sad, you can never afford to be weak. However, strength is nonexistent in the absence of faith. Without faith, there is no hope. Without hope, all would be lost.
