LYRICS:

Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think
It's like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can't it finds a way to still push on, though

Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away
Ain't got the patience for the pain
And if you don't believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on

Rihanna/Miley: I'm tellin' you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don't let up

Sheryl: Don't you know you can go be your own miracle

Beyonce: You need to know

CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up

Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
questioning, wondering what is what
Don't give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Fergie: It's like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face

Leona: Just because you go through it

Fergie: Don't mean it got to take control, no

Through whatever

You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!!

This just shows that even though we have/ had cancer... it's not the end of life... keep pushing..

BEIXIAOYING TOWN, China (Aug. 21) - Dutch swimmer Maarten van der Weijden already fought back from leukemia. An open water fight hardly compared.

Oblivious to the kicking, slapping and pushing going on between the race favorites, the 6-foot-9 (2.05-meter) Van der Weijden won the inaugural Olympic men's 10-kilometer open water marathon under a steady rain Thursday. "The leukemia taught me to think step by step," Van der Weijden said. "When you're laying in the hospital bed and feeling so much pain and feeling so tired, you don't want to think about next week or next month, you're only thinking about the next hour." Van der Weijden was diagnosed with leukemia in 2001, came back in 2003 and began swimming faster than before. He now says he has "totally recovered" from the illness. He commits a large portion of his time to raising awareness about leukemia, and raised $73, 670 with a charity swim in 2004. "You lay in your bed and just wait," he added. "It's almost the same strategy I've used here - to stay in the pack, to be patient, and stay easy just waiting for your chance." Gradually moving up to the front throughout the race, Van der Weijden won a three-way sprint by taking a more direct line to the finish, skirting just inside the final red buoy to grab gold.

 David Davies of Britain and Thomas Lurz of Germany drifted to the outside at the finish and settled for silver and bronze. "If there is anyone in the field that can beat me, that guy is an absolute legend," Davies said of van der Weijden. "He's a great guy. He's obviously been to the depths in his personal life and to come back is a great story. Lance Armstrong epic." After the win, van der Weijden raised his arms in the air and pumped his fists as he walked around the dock. He was hoisted on the shoulders of his teammates and pointed a finger toward to sky to show he was No. 1. "Because of the treatment I got, the stem cell transplants, I had the luck to recover," van der Weijden said. "The stem cell transplants are because of research worldwide for cancer. So everyone who donates money, donated money in the past, I'm grateful too or otherwise I wouldn't be here."
