I'm a Pink Warrior. Are you?

This year's Breast Cancer 3 Day song is a tear jerker...Okay maybe just for me, but I find myself sniffing half way through the darn song.

Candy Coben is the writer and performer of this song. She wrote it for her grandmother. You can listen and download the song from here. For each download on iTunes $.40 goes back to Susan G. Komen and for the fight against Breast Cancer.

In case you aren't around someplace where you can listen, no worry, I've put the lyrics below. The second verse is what gets my eyes all watery...what a sap. But I'll be happy to be a sap any day for a good cause.

PINK WARRIOR--lyrics

She wore a pink tutu and her cowboy boots,
and
her big brother's superman capeShootin' down dragons from her little red wagonTo keep the backyard safeStubborn as a grass stain,
runnin
' 'round in french braids,tough for such a little girlLivin in a big boys' world--
Oh--shes a pink warriorShe's a fighter like her mama always taught to be
Got
an army of angels marchin around with herShe won't give inYeah she's gonna winShe's a pink warrior
She wears a pink ball cap and a pink durag,
pink ribbon on her SUV
Its been a long hard fight but she's kicked it twice
cause she don't know the word defeat
She's walkin for the big cure,
mothers,daughters, sisters-
they're facin' this head on-
talk about being strong

Oh--shes a pink warriorShe's a fighter like her mama always taught to beGot an army of angels marchin around with herShe won't give inYeah she's gonna win
She's
a pink warrior
