Our Song

As cancer survivors, we know how important it is to keep things light,

happy and positive. We know we can do "side by side" what we could

never endure alone. Our "steers people" are our loved ones, our doctors and our friends who encourage us and guide us through the tough times of our treatment and recovery. We use our dragon boat experience to take us to new heights, to accept new challenges and to discover the power there is in teamwork and consistent effort to achieve our personal best. There is indeed life after breast cancer!

(Sung to the tune of "Side by Side.")

Oh, we’ve all had a battle with cancer,

Paddlin’ just may be the answer,

Cause it keeps us afloat

Paddlin’ our boat,

Side by side.

Every day we’re a little bit stronger,

We paddle to the beat of our drummer,

Spirit Abreast!

We are the best

Side by side.

Through all kinds of weather

Nothing can keep us away.

As long as we work together

Victory is ours today!

Now we’re off and away to the races,

Look at the joy on our faces!

Spirit Abreast!

We are the best!

Side by side.

Hope in our boat

Keeps us afloat

Side by side.

Spirit Abreast!

We are the best

Side by side.
