I found a song that really captures how I’ve been feeling lately, and it was all thanks to the crow I saw this morning on my way to get coffee. Crows are always hungry, so I shared a video of it eating from the trash on my Instagram stories.
I searched for the song “Stay Hungry” on the IG Music Library and found Twisted Sister’s version. I had never heard of the group or the song before.
The lyrics at the beginning talk about how this journey will be tough and lonely, but not for quitters.
Others can laugh and play
I’ll fight for every inch I take
I’m desperate to the bone
Later on, it says feel the fire. I always say to my friends and the team I have a fire in my belly, my body, and my hands. It seems I am not alone in this feeling.
Stay hungry
Feel the fire
Stay hungry
Don’t explode
Stay hungry
With desire
Stay hungry you’re alone
And, Don’t be lazy and fat. If you are a little bit distracted, here is the answer:
If your fire is faded
And you can’t feel it no more
If you’re tired and overrated
Let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy
There’s none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There’s no room for the wannabees
The has beens or the bad
It was released in 1984, three years before I was born. I wish I had known about this song earlier.
