Bryan Adams - Never Let Go

Can you lay your life down
So a stranger can live
Can you take what you need
But take less than you give
Could you close every day
Without the glory and fame
Could you hold your head high
When no one knows your name

That's how legends are made
At least that's what they say

We say goodbye
But never let go
We live, we die
Cause you can't save every soul
Gotta take every chance to
Show that you're the kinda man who
Will never look back
Never look down
And Never Let Go

Can you lose everything
You ever had planned
Can you sit down again
And play another hand
Could you risk everything
For the chance of being alone
Under pressure find the grace
Or would you come undone

That's how legends are made
At least that's what they say

We say goodbye
But never let go
We live, we die
Cause you can't save every soul
Gotta take every chance to
Show that you're the kinda man who
Will never look back
Never look down
And Never Let Go

Never Let Go
Never Let Go
Never Let Go

Gotta take every chance to
Show that you're the kinda man who
Will never look back
Never look down
And never let go
We say goodbye
But Never Let Go
We live, we die
Cause you can't save every soul
Gotta take every chance to
Show that you're the kinda man who
Will never look back
Never look down
And Never Let Go
Will never look back
Never look down
And Never Let Go
Never Let Go

The song's from the movie The Guardian. Top Gun in water. Kevin Costner is a Coast Guard rescue diver who's entire team got killed on a mission. He himself has a House-like injury to his arm for holding a rescued sailor for 3 hours.
Costner is canned, and sent to instruct the next generation of divers. Whereupon he meets Ashton Kutcher, who's also got a "everybody died around me" story. The two butt heads, because, stereotypically, the teacher is a jerk and so is his student. Everything gets better and better, and they become fast friends.... The ending hinges on Kutcher's dedication, the way his life is replicating Costner's. "I'll never let go!" "I know that."

3 great lines from the song, and I've got them written on the whiteboard in my room:

Never look back
Never look down
Never Let Go

Don't regret, don't be scared, don't give up. Funny how words to live your life by can come from a pop song.
