Do you think about
Everything you've been through
You never thought you'd be so depressed
Are you wondering
Is it life or death
Do you think that there's no one like you
We are
We are
We are
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
The life I think about
Is so much better than this
I never thought I'd be stuck in this mess
I'm sick of wondering
Is it life or death
I need to figure out who's behind you
okii! =)

Okay, so some more songs that I found online today.
The first I actually stumbled across when trying to Google A-D's suggestion. This first one is pretty humorous, at least as I found, because it's so straightforward. It's titled "I Got Knocked Down" ("But I'll Get Up"). Anyone else find it ironic that the first couple of lines of the song is "sitting in Hospital bed"? To me it's easily applied to diabetes. Well, perhaps without the "take some drugs so I can forget" line. I don't think we, or at least I, did that in the Hospital. Except for insulin - but that's a medicine. :)
PS
It's by Joey Ramone

i find it funny that you talked about this one because it's actually a drinking song. haha
my diabetes soundtrack does not exist really although i do have songs that i have listened to over the years because they helped me feel more at peace with life.
this is a song gave me a reason to keep going in spite of having Diabetes.
God Must Have Spent (a little more time on you) - Nsync
Yeah it dates me.
this one i like even though it has to do with break ups and stuff it's kind of funny how i think of blood tests when i hear it.
The First Cut is the Deepest - Cheryl Crow
Write from the heart... It will all come together after that =)
Wow, all of you guys have such good diabetic songs! =D I will try to find some, but I'm kind of surprised/disappointed in myself that I hadn't even though of that. D:
But anyways...when I skimmed through these posts, I discovered that I knew many of the songs and realized how much they dealt with our diabetes.
So I immediately thought of this song called Lift Me Up by Kate Voegele. I think it's a near perfect song! Here are the first couple of stanzas/chorus:
This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I’ve seen high and I’ve seen low <<< Hoorah! haha.
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town
Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah
So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I’ve been given hope
That there’s a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
Somewhere, every body starts there
I’m counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I’m here, and suddenly it’s so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears
Well from a moms perspective this song is my fav-- again from a moms perspective..
MARK SCHULTZ- He's my son
I'm down on my knees again tonight,
I'm hopin' this prayer will turn out right.
See, there is a boy that needs Your help.
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired,
I'm sure You can understand.
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries
Not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he'd like to be.
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God, who he needs right now is You.
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear.
What would I be
Living without him here?
He's so tired,
And he's scared
Let him know that You're there.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he's not just anyone.
Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him,
He's my son.

My 12 year old daugther was listening to her music and I heard this song and I thought of your post.
This would be on my diabetic soundtrack as a mother with a daughter who has type 1.
Keep holding on - Avril Lavinge
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
no I won't give in
Keep holdin' on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just, stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say (nothin' you can say)
Nothing you can do (nothin' you can do)
there's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side
I will fight and defend (ah ah)
I'll fight and defend (ah ah) yeah yeah
Keep holdin' on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just, stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Hear me when I say
When I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna destiny
Whatever's meant to be
Will work out perfectly
Keep holdin' on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Alyssa,
Someone's Watching Over Me
Wow, that song is one of the songs that I get tears in my eyes when I listen to because it reminds me that while I am going through hard stuff, especially regarding diabetes, that GOD is watching over me, not only family, friends, and doctors. :) Thanks for that!
Nicole, I LOVE that song! I even used it on a video for a diabetic event! It totally relates! It motivates me to do better when necessary and makes me cry when I need to vent... :)- AWESOME song!
Andy
Wow! Your song was (i know its sounds corny to say but) beautiful! I actually almost cried because thats exactly how I feel about diabetes. Keep up the good work!
Ok, so I was just listening to a sang I've listened to billions of times but now that I was thinking of "diabetic" songs, it kinda applies!
The Reason by Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person, there's many things I wish I didn't do,
But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know,
I found a reason for me to change who I used to be,
a reason to start over new, and the reason is You!
I'm sorry that I hurt you; it's something I must live with every day...etc.
I say that my reason to change and do better with my diabetes is God, is to live longer, is to be healthy, is to be happy. What's yours?
Wow, everyone thought of songs I had too!
I found a new one!!!
Don't stop dancing by Creed!!
Here's part of it:
At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light
A silver lining sometimes isn't enough
To make some wrongs seem right
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many feel this way..
It's a very great song! I also had Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson, Jericho by Hilary Duff, and Dare you to Move By Switchfoot! :)
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away
Wow - that's cool... I'm not a church person or religious person, i do wonder about it sometimes. I have goodled and youtubed some of their songs... i like their sound.
these are allll nice songs. lov'em!
I totally have some amazing songs that you all should listen to! Especially if you have Lala.com you should add them to your playlist! The first one, Alive, is cool because its like saying even though we have diabetes we are still alive, and we dont need people thinking we are fragile like glass and that we are going to die.
Alive by Superchick
Don't bury me, I'm not yet dead,
not a walking zombie with no head,
not a stepford wife made to obey,
don't wanna go through life that way.
I'm alive, I'm alive,
that's what I say,
I'm alive, I'm alive,
not gonna live that way.
I'm alive, I'm alive,
that's what I say,
I'm alive and I'm gonna live that way.
Do robots dream of electric sheep?
I need to live my dreams, not just in my sleep.
I've been holed up here but its time to
leave. I need to make my move,
While I've air to breath!
Don't give me drugs, no novocaine,
I must be alive cause I still feel pain.
We were born with wings
We were made to fly
We were meant to live while we're still alive!
- Next is We Live by Superchick (just the first verse and chorus) This one is so true. We cannot let diabetes control us and waste our lives...
Theres a cross, on the side of the road,
where a mother lost her son, how could
she know that the morning he left, would be
the last time she'd trade with him for a little more time?
So she could say she loved him one last time, and
hold him tight. But with life, you never know,
when we're coming up to the end of the road.
So what do we do then, with tragedy around the bend?
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up,
Cuz the days we are living are gifts from above and toady
we remember to live and to love.
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up. Cuz the
days we are living are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love.
...So how does the story end? Well this is your story, and it all depends. Don't
let it become true, get out and do what you were meant to do!
- Also, my faves is Stand in the Rain, and Beauty from Pain
I was just listening to a song and thought that it could really fit into the theme of all of these. It's called "The Motions" by Matthew West. The lyrics are really encouraging. I was thinking that the lyrics could really apply to people who are deciding to make a change by taking better care of their diabetes instead of just "going through the motions."
The Motions- Matthew West
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
Take me all the way (take me all the way)
Take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
Take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
Take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
Take me all the way (take me all the way)
Take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
Take me all the way (through the motions)
Take me all the way
I don't wanna go through the motions
The real story behind the song is actually pretty interesting and sad. It was actually written by a guy (I think he was a high schooler) who had just decided to give his life to God and live the rest of his life for him. Then, just a little while after going home and writing this song, he left his house and was killed in a car accident. It's pretty sad, but then Matthew West decided to put the song on his album. You could probably google it and find out more. I just think it's a great song.

This song always cheers me up when i am feeling down...its called Beautiful World by Carolina Liar. I am sure it will bring a smile to your face especially when you hear the lead singers voice...well it's just amazing. My favorite song by far. ")
Here it comes in the morning
I’m just trying to forget
Keep it real, keep it simple
And somehow just get out of bed
And this city is endless
I’m as cold as it’s stone
Yeah this city is endless
And I’m, I’m walking alone
CHORUS
Sunlight creeps in between the curtains
Lose the sheets there’s no time for sleep
I lie, I pretend ‘til I’m almost certain
It’s a beautiful world
I wanna ask for direction
But I don’t dare to disturb
I got a thing with affections
Yeah, that’s why I’m walking alone
CHORUS
Sunlight creeps in between the curtains
Lose the sheets there’s no time for sleep
I lie, I pretend ‘til I’m almost certain
It’s a beautiful world
Here it comes in the morning…
CHORUS
Sunlight creeps in between the curtains
Lose the sheets there’s no time for sleep
I lie, I pretend ‘til I’m almost certain
It’s a beautiful world
(Yeah, it’s a beautiful world)
la la la la
I pretend ‘til I’m almost certain
It’s a beautiful world
When I was in high school there was a huge hit song by Leon Russell called "Tightrope" I think these lyrics describe the whole diabetes experience of trying to keep the BS not too high and not too low:
I'm up on the tightwire
one side's ice and one is fire
its a circus game
I'm up on the tightrope
one side's hate and one is hope
but the tophat on my head is all you see
And the wire seems to be
the only place for me
a comedy of errors
and I'm falling
I don't know the part of walking the tightrope with one side ice (too high) and one side fire (too low?) just seems to describe it oh so well!
