This song is a tribute to wounded warrirors. A friend of mine needed a song for a book she was writing about American soldiers who are injured in war and return home to move on with life after discharge from service. The goal was to not focus on the tragedy of war and its consequences. The goal was to provide an encouraging message that there is life after war.
I penned this song with Mark Charles Hattersley and Ron Elliott.

They sent me too close to hell
To fight the good fight
Now I'm here with the wounds of war
It ain’t sitting right
There’s a stirrin’ in my spirit
A feeling in my bones
I got a chance they didn't get
I made it home
I'm gonna’ get on up
I'm gonna’ take a lap
I'm gonna’ get my boy to his football game
We'll cheer ‘em on and laugh
I'm gonna’ hold the girl
That I love most in the world
I made it through the toughest fight
I'm gonna’ live, gonna’ live
The Fullest Life
I'm not a mountain climber
So maybe just a hike
Or I'll ride clear across
America on my bike
There's a stirrin’ in my spirit
A feeling in my bones
I lift a prayer for the warriors
Who haven’t made it home
I’m gonna get on up
Gonna take a lap
Gonna throw some poles in that old John boat
And hit the lake with Dad
We’ll take away
Big stories from the day
And how we fought the toughest fight
I’m doing this for my brothers
Who didn't make it home
I'm gonna’ get on up
Gonna share a smile
Gonna take my little girl by the hand
And walk her down the aisle
I’m lifted up
By a family built on love
I made it through the darkest night
Because they’re right here by my side
N’ now I’ll fight the toughest fight
I'm gonna’ live
Gonna’ live
The Fullest Life
