Today, while I was out running errands, I had my radio tuned to XM 63 The Message. I had the volume turned down due to several on and off phone conversations, and I saw the words “All In” pop up on the screen. I was really intrigued because my anti-bullying program is entitled “All In.” I turned up the volume and instantly fell in love with this song, for several reasons.
Firstly, I greatly appreciate the intended message of the song: never ‘apologizing’ or ‘hiding’ your dedication to the One who gives us life, no matter how difficult or isolated the journey may be.
Secondly, the song relates to my reasoning for calling my program “All In.” I want students to understand that treating people with respect is an investment in you, and the investment doesn’t discriminate, or choose specific people to receive this respect, it is all encompassing. This investment in you and your future is a commitment to give 100% of your effort to respect 100% of the people you encounter each day.
I am excited about this new song, and I encourage you to listen to it on Youtube or download it on Itunes! Each time I listen to it, it reminds me of how amazing it feels to “take a stand” for a cause which you care so deeply, and a Savior for whom you love so desperately.
“All In” By Stellar Kart
TO JUST FIT IN AND NOT STAND OUT AT ALL
TO MAKE A CASE FOR APATHY
AND NEVER RISK A THING IN CASE YOU FALL
THIS IS LIFE AND WE ALL DECIDE
THE STAND WE TAKE
AND THIS IS MINE THAT
I AM NOT ASHAMED, WON'T WALK AWAY
NOT TRYING TO DISGUISE OR EVER HIDE
THE REASON THAT I CHOOSE TO BE A FOOL
FOR THE ONE WHO SAVED MY LIFE
I WON'T APOLOGIZE
IT'S HARD TO WALK A NARROW ROAD
AND KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE
TO GO WHERE NO ONE ELSE WILL GO
PRESSING ON UNTIL THE RACE IS RUN
THIS IS LIFE AND WE ALL DECIDE
THE CHOICE IS OURS
AND THIS IS MINE THAT
AS FOR ME, I AM ALL IN
AS FOR ME, I AM ALL IN
ALL IN
I AM NOT ASHAMED, WON'T WALK AWAY
I CANNOT DENY THAT
All my love and care,
“I’m All In!”
-Amy
