Today for class we listened to a song called "I Lived" by One Republic. It was about a kid who had cystic fibrosis. It mentioned how the kid was not afraid and that he was very tough. If you don't know what cystic fibrosis is I am going to tell you now. Cystic fibrosis is a decease that only lets you live for 35 years and you can only get affected from it if you are born from it. This decease affects your lungs and you won't be able to breathe well. And this decease also affects your digestive system. Now on to the video. The kids name was Bryan. He was a brave man. If you watch the video it shows that he was very very very active. He rode a bike very far, he sled, he drove tractors and other stuff like that, he even played a sport which was hockey. He also was a very strong man and he was also a very caring man. He took his medicine everyday and every time he fell to the floor he got up and didn't even get hurt. He also raised lots of money for the cystic fibrosis researchers with his team. If you also listen to the lyrics carefully you can pause it and talk about them and explain what they mean. I will show you all of the parts and verses of the songs below.
"I Lived"
[Verse 1]
Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You build a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
They're 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
Is 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...
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say...
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
[Chorus]
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
Those are the lyrics to the song and remember to read each little paragraph and try to understand what they mean. And listen to the song and look and listen what the main character says. That's all I have to say to you. I don't want to spoil the whole video for you so I'm gonna let you on your own to listen to this song. Peace out.
