I just found mine.... "Survival" by Muse (yay...love this band). Lyrics are awesome- I think I'll be singing it as they wheel me into the OR! What is your song or songs... Let's put together an awesome playlist of encouragement and hope!

Survival by Muse

Race, life’s a race

And I am gonna win

Yes, I am gonna win

And I’ll light the fuse

And I’ll never lose

And I choose to survive

Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead

I’ll keep up the pace

And I’ll reveal my strength

To the whole human race

Yes I am prepared

To stay alive

And I won’t forgive,

Vengeance is mine

And I won’t give in

Because I choose to thrive

Yeah, I’m gonna win!

[guitar solo]

Race, it’s a race

And I’m gonna win

Yes, I’m gonna win

And I will light the fuse

I’ll never lose

And I choose to survive

Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead

'Cause I’ll keep up the pace

And I’ll reveal my strength

To the whole human race

Yes I'm gonna win

[guitar solo]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Win! Win! Win! Win!

Yes I’m gonna win!

I just found Unity by Shinedown. I was listening to it on the treadmill this morning and the lyrics really got to me.

Eminem's Til I collapse...I listen to all the time...especially when at the gym and I need to push a little bit harder. And he is a sexy mother...here are the lyrics that resonate with me...there are more lyrics, but those pertain to his rapping career...

Cause sometimes you just feel tired,

Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.

But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength

And just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up

And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out

Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.

Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps.

I'ma rip this **** till my bone collapse.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out

Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.

Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps.

I'ma rip this **** till my bone collapse.

I just found Unity by Shinedown. I was listening to it on the treadmill this morning and the lyrics really got to me.

That's one of my favorite songs by my absolute favorite group! great sleeve theme song.

You havent seen the last of me by Cher. Probably my lifes theme song though.

Sarah Mclachlan- In the Arms of An Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

For that break that will make it ok

There's always a reason to feel not good enough

It's hard at the end of the day...

In the arms of an angel, fly away from here

From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness you feel....

And the storm keep on twisting, you keep building on the lies that make up for all you lack

...

You were pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of the angels..

Lessons Learned by Carrie Underwood

There some things I regret... Bad times I've been through.. Damage I cannot undo...but it don't really matter, life gets much harder, it makes you that much stronger. Some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned

There's mistakes that I have made, some chances I threw away....but it don't make no difference, the past can't be rewritten, you get the life your given...

The Whole Song is Amazing n Relatable

AND

Fix You- Cold Play

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you...

But if you never try you'll never know just what your worth...

Feeling Good - Michael Bublé cover

Hall of Fame by The Script

"You can go the distance

you can run the miles

you can walk straight through hell with a smile

[...]Dedicate and you can find yourself standing in the Hall of Fame"

Jackson Browne Running on Empty Everyone I know, everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe

I don't know about anyone but me

If it takes all night, that'll be all right

If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels

I look around for the friends that I used to turn to pull me through

Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on-running on empty

Running on-running blind

Running on-running into the sun

But I'm running behind

And

No Day But Today by RENT

Take this flab and shove it

I ain't wearin' it no more

Maybe I took a slight liberty with the lyrics

"Titanium" because that's the song the drs played while they put me to sleep. Fitting, I think.

Eminem's Til I collapse...I listen to all the time...especially when at the gym and I need to push a little bit harder. And he is a sexy mother...here are the lyrics that resonate with me...there are more lyrics' date=' but those pertain to his rapping career...

I listen to that at the gym!! Love it!!

Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust

And another one gone, and another one gone

Another one bites the dust

Hey, I'm gonna get you too

Another one bites the dust

Katy perry firework

Pre-Op song currently is....Sixteen Tons

"...You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store..."

Post-Op song will be "I Wanna Live Like That" by Uriah Shelton

"I wanna learn from my mistakes, and I wanna give back what I take

I wanna be there for my friends, I wanna always make amends

I wanna live like that

Well, I wanna laugh right out loud, and I wanna make my mama proud

I wanna have the strength to cry

I wanna always wonder why

I wanna live like that

I wanna live that way, I don’t want to be afraid

I wanna love like that, every day

I wanna live like that

Well, I wanna be here when I pray, and I wanna slow dance in the rain

I wanna love and be loved back, lose my way without a map

I wanna live like that

Well I wanna go when things grow wild, and I wanna see my baby smile

I wanna go gracefully, gather shells by the sea

I wanna live like that....."
