Climbing light posts, trees and rocks
My favorite way to spend a day
Was bike and run and rollerblade
Drop in on the skateboard ramp in the street
Feel adrenaline shoot from my heart to my feet
I earn another belt in martial arts
But breaking boards was the best part
I am healthy, I am strong
I have done this all along
All this changes in an instant
You put your foot down
Try to walk but you can't
It takes all your strength
Just trying to breathe
You have to budget energy
'Cause you're held back by fatigue
Health is not always something earned
It can be gone in an instant
I have learned
Don't take it for granted
All that you've got
Health is not something
That can be bought
