Lyrics
[Nelly Furtado]
I don’t wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don’t wanna be left left in this world behind
Say you’ll run to my side
[K’naan]
Something ’bout mary
Never won a pageant
Never felt pretty
Never looked like cameron
Diaz was her last name
Always been abandoned
Keep your head up
Baby girl this is your anthem
There goes hannah
Showin’ off her banner
Rocking that crown
Make them boys go bananas
When you’re insecure about yourself
It’s a fact
You can point a finger
But there’s three pointing bac
I can see her crying out, yeah
Is there anybody out there?
She’s really counting on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don’t care
Right now she could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge til it’s over
She’s crying for your love tonight
Loneliest heart to survive, she said
[Nelly Furtado]
I don’t wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don’t wanna be left left in this world behind
Say you’ll run to my side
Is anybody out there? yeah, yeah, yeah
Is anybody out there?
(somebody, anybody)
[K’naan]
His name was adam
When his mom had him
Dad was a phantom never took a look at him
Grew up mad and antisocial
Hated outdoors, always in playing madden
Adam was lonely
Drugs were the only
Way out of his own life
Now he’s slowly losing his fire
Close to retire
With one last hope he puts his arms up higher
I can see him crying out, yeah
Is anybody out there?
He’s really counting on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don’t care
Right now he could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge til it’s over
He’s crying for your love tonight
Loneliest heart to survive, he said
[Nelly Furtado]
I don’t wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don’t wanna be left left in this world behind
Say you’ll run to my side
Is anybody out there?
[Bridge]
If you feel the way I feel
Like you’ve been talking to yourself
Well this one’s for everyone who’s felt invisible
Lonely in a crowded room
Searching for someone like you
Can’t do it all alone (no one can baby)
Can’t do it all alone (no one should baby)
Is anybody out there?
(somebody, anybody)
Is anybody out there?
I’m right here for your
Is anybody out there?
[Outro]
I don’t wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don’t wanna be left left in this world behind
Say you’ll run to my side
Is anybody out there? yeah, yeah, yeah
I don’t wanna do it all alone
I need your love to take me home
No one said you should be all alone
I’m right here
Is anybody out there?
Well there you have it… Hulk X’s team song. One team, one dream. Like I said in the 1st boot camp of Hulk X, think about what side of the line you’re on. Whether you need a helping hand or are giving one, everybody needs somebody. You signed up for a team experience as well as an individual experience. We will all be trading back and forth, and the sooner you lead with your heart and refuse to let your brain be your detractor, the sooner the healing can begin. The sooner the sunshine feels like sunshine. The sooner you can bask in the joy of being a leader when you are CONVINCED you are a follower.
Get very familiar with this gem of a song. You will hear it often. This is your anthem Gamma, Beast, and Banner. Wear this song and its meaning on your sleeve as you go through this challenge living by the Hulken Rule; Treat others BETTER than you wish to be treated. Reach out with hand and heart as you know full well and without hesitation then when you are the one in need you can call along any of the sweat filled brows in front of you.
I want to share a story that was shared with ME today. I didn’t ask permission to retell so I will leave the names out. Yesterday (Wednesday) in the back alley, we were taking a little “jaunt in the park” (lunging 3 times down the length of almost a football field). Per usual, once everyone started to complete their 3 lap minimum, all the returning Hulksters started to go back to the line. A new Hulkster notices and says to one (the person who told me this) “hey, you already finished your 3! We don’t have to do more, do we?” and this person replies “No way, welcome to Hulk. We don’t leave anybody behind.”
That little anecdote will be one of MANY experiences that will play through my head when this rings out during wall sits, push up sessions, and plank-a-thons. Welcome to a movement.
*ahem*
AHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
PS for those of you who weren’t at orientation or haven’t heard… This challenge we have a goal. Based upon past challenge averages, I want to lose 300 lbs this challenge and 340 inches. I expect to blow those numbers out of the water. Based on what Hulk always does… by digging deep. I haven’t forgotten about these goals nor am I done addressing them. When the dust settles from the first week Hulksters…. BANGERANG!!!
