Proud of you, I'm 2 months brother it's hard but I'm taking it day by day use to finish a fifth of vodka everyday n now I feel so much better and happier
For me this song starts my day ....everyday as I fight cancer. Thank you to the dropkick murphys for such an inspiring song...im proud to be a fighter.
5 years sober. Hence me name Wildrover. Saw them in St. Petersburg, Florida. They were fantastic. Last time I was at that venue it was the RAMONES. I was wasted barely remember it. Sober is better. Please come again DROPKICK MURPHYS.
I know that this song was written about drugs but to me it means something entirely different. I'm 16 years old and I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I have no sensation whatsoever in my left leg and walking is the pain equivalent of labor. 200 hours of physical therapy helped me to walk but I have my good days and bad. I got addicted to drugs to deal with the pain but I'm clean now. I'm proud to be a fighter 💪
This song is for whatever you need it to be brother. We all fight out own wars, thats what this song is about! Every struggle is a personal thing, but you're not alone my friend.
I lost my mom 7 years ago to a blood clot, lost most of my friends to drugs, and my dad died in a car crash 3 weeks ago. But I still have 2 years sober and I’m using the pain as fuel to live in the moment and still on have gratitude for the things I still have. But if it wasn’t for my ex athiest ass, finding Jesus? I’d be dead right now or way worse off. So if I can loose almost everyone and still stay sober and be able to still find things to be grateful for? Then you can do it too. Please do yourself and the world a favor and get clean or stay clean. Because the world needs you even if you don’t know it.
I grew up in Boston have always been a Dropkick Murphy's fan moved to New Orleans covid hit then I got hit with two types of cancer I'm fully recover now but this song got me thru radiation and chemo thanks guys Boston Irish strong
This came out when I was in active addiction and it rocked me. I was praying to make to that point. I'm on my third year of my recovery journey and a literal miracle. Don't ever stop trying.
That’s awesome! I used to listen to these guys in active addiction/ alcoholism. It took me roughly 15 years to finally celebrate 1 year sober. Which I can only thank god for. I was an atheist. But the only change I made was being desperate enough to start praying to god every day with my whole heart for the obsession to be lifted. Then After my last detox? I haven’t had a really strong craving in a while. But I never would have thought I’d be sober, listing to drop kick Murphy songs that inspire me to stay sober. Goes to show how much the band and I have grown.
@@Fromwoketoawakeandfindingfaith yes!! That gave me chills. The identification is strong. 15 years here too. I got clean at 40. I used last on my birthday. I’m proud of you man. The gift is desperation got me here too!
I know this song was written for addictions, but it’s really helped me in my journey of recovering from anorexia nervosa. I watched their live show on St Patrick’s day crying in a hospital bed because i just wanted my life to end... this song never fails to remind me to keep fighting
It doesn't even have to be an addiction tbh. The first time I heard it I had lost my mom just two months ago and I was homeless and broke, I didn't even know where I was going to be staying. I got a job at Amazon and had literally gotten myself a roof over my head just 3 weeks earlier (I kid you not, this was September 29, 2018). It resonated with me to a level that this is my favorite DKM song of all.
Tomorrow makes 3 years since I lost my best friend, on his birthday no less. He'd been clean and just wanted one last time.. to anyone struggling, PLEASE don't, the pain doesn't stop once you're gone... Playing all his favorites rn, thanks. He would've loved 'Middle Finger'
Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. Acknowledging you have a problem is a sign of strength, not of weakness. God bless you all, love this band so much, and this song in particular.
I have a significant lady friend who's struggling pretty badly, I showed her this and she actually came to me. She's still struggling, but now she's not afraid to speak out about it, god bless you sir
I'm in rehab, 70 days clean off heroin and other drugs. Don't count me out, I'm a survivor. I'm Proud to be a fighter! Ty Dropkick Murphys for this recovery theme song. Erin Go Braug!
@@dustincoleman8735 good lad,when you look back bro. All those times sick rattling ass off in some jail with no meds, before the days of subutex,methadone in prisons. Doing it all urself, no sleep,goosebumps,diarrohea, anxiety attacks (wow they was a killer). Almost gave up and couldnt do it but got a visit and got a sorter to take pain off. It was well worth it. I was aged 32 when i finally did it after 16 years of heroin. Now i have a good life, money,car,family,nice clothes,record collection. We better than that life bro..
I've been there more times than I care to think about. Sober 19 months it's possible. Learn from your relapse double down on what was/is working for you a fuck the rest. Praying for you!
I listen to this and cry thinking about my mom. God I wish her cancer will just go away. .. now she's going back for kemo... God please don't let them kill her !!
i watched the dropkicks 3 times live... everytime i cried.. no matter if its the song warriors code, fields of athenry, amazing grace, workers song or this masterpiece... there´s plenty of em... i love those guys
All you people there who fight and are clean, I just want you all to know that you should be proud at yourselves, I SUPPORT YOU AND I'M PROUD AT YOU :)
Thank you.. It's always nice (and rare) to hear. I was addicted to opiates for a short time in 2006, and people who found out who I hadn't talked to since I was young are STILL giving me a hard time and wish I was 6 feet under. It all started with an injury at the doctors office. I was told that I KNEW what would happen.. I was also told to trust doctors, which was a huge mistake. But after going through that, I'll never say a negative thing about addicts. If more people would adopt your attitude, we would be so much better off and more ahead of the epidemic.
Never been an addict myself, but I’m a military man and a father. For both I’ve been through many hard times, just to mention Afghanistan or being a father of three young children. Though this song was not made for me I still feel joy and power whenever I hear it because it reminds me how far I have come and how many things I’ve conquered in my life so far. All I can say is thank you for giving me such a boost for my everyday life, gentlemen!

Cool picture btw love Justified. Also Ken said in an interview about how they are considered a drinking band....I guess he's been sober 32 years he said. Anyways good on you.
this year is 13 years off Meth. I had a hiccup with coke in 07 but quickly got back off it. so 10 years clean off coke. But i will smoke weed till i die. its what got me off that crap and what saved me from having to be on opioids for pain.
Doug Taylor So sorry :( . My brother for years consistently relapsed and fought his addiction. Now he is clean of heroin which is great. But he has been back and forth so so so so many times.
@@shawnp6744 Good on you, man. Losing five in a month sounds straight up awful. Never easy to lose even just one. The last four years were rough on all of us, but I’m still here. St. Patrick’s Day for me, of all days: 3-17-2003. Twenty years so close now I can almost feel it. Getting started, I wondered “what’s left?”. Now I can see that gratitude is what remains after.
I think this song speaks to people on more than one level. I deal with anxiety and self doubt daily and this song gives me a reason to walk a little straighter and stronger.
Sometimes getting up early in the morning going to do something you hate because supporting your family is what is really important to you really wears on. This song has really come to my aid a few times when I have needed it. Knowing that I am an Irish American and proud because although things may get tough I still pay my way and thats enough to lift my head and be proud of who I am. Slainte Murphys! This ones for you.
my grandfather, contracted dementia, i now run his farm... hell come high water someone will take it from him! he always helped me out no matter what... im paying my way back!!! i love you all!!! if you need a place to stay, its hard work... its a true farm. I GOT YA.
3ish years clean after a decade oxy/hammer addiction. I have binge and addiction dramas so if you don't think you can get clean, believe me, you truly can. I still smoke weed and drink occasionally but that's it now.
As a victim of physical and mental abuse at the hands of my alcoholic father , I relate to this song in a different way as I work everyday to put the past behind me and always be moving to a more brighter future. Best wishes to those engaged with solving their own issues.
Love hearing recovery stories...establishing hope, victory and empowerment. Bouncing back and arising out of despair, sorrow and loss. 593 days...this time and pushing through and forward, despite losing myself, feeling destroyed, etc. The God's see me as having a higher purpose
Besides Rose tattoo....I think this is my new favorite song. It's lyrics are very powerful and I relate to them. And it's good that they acknowledge the growing epidemic going on in their own way.

This is my song here. I know it's about addiction (which is an issue I have never had personally), but I have battled depression and anxiety for years. I know what it's like to feel like there's no point in going on, but I also know what it's like to fight that battle and keep going forward. My life is far from perfect, but I've come a long way from where I have been in the past. I'm grateful that I have managed to keep going on, no matter what happens.
Hi Emily, I relate a lot to your situation and love for this song. Can you share with us how you got on? I am on therapy right now, but it still looks very bleak. I appreciate any helping tip you can give. Thanks!
@@marioalves1184Hi Mario, thank you for your kind words. Good job on getting yourself into therapy, I know how hard it can be to take that first step. I've been in therapy for several years now; I finally realized that I needed a non-judgemental third party to help me through. I've had to change my way of thinking over the years, realizing there are certain things I can't change and have to accept, and other things I can change and what I can do to make that happen. I've also come to realize there are some things that have happened in my life that have probably had an affect on who I am and why I do some of the things I do/think the way I do/etc., but I know I can work through those things. I have also gotten in touch with my spiritual side in recent months--I am not religious by any means, and I used to think that religion and spirituality were interchangeable. I have come to realize that they are not, so I have had to figure out what spirituality means to me. This might sound weird, but I have really gotten into crystals in recent months, and learning about what different crystals can be used for, and now I have certain ones for certain purposes. It might be a placebo effect, but it has really helped me and I have felt more grounded in recent months than I have in years. I don't know if any of that is helpful to you, but hopefully there's something in there that you can take away for yourself, whether it's anything that works for me or if there's something you discover works for you. In any case, thank you again for your comment and I wish you all the best! 🙂
@@marioalves1184 Hi Mario. I am just coming across your comment again; I actually did reply when you originally wrote it but it looks like it didn't go through for some reason. Anyway, I am doing alright; I have my good days and bad days. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, but staying positive (which is something I haven't always been able to say). I go to therapy on and off; haven't been in a few months but might schedule an appointment soon. I guess the best I can say for now is that I have had to find something in me that wants to keep going. Good for you for doing therapy and I hope things are going well for you. I would also suggest surrounding yourself with as many positive people in your life for support ( and you are welcome to get in touch with me if you need someone to listen).

Schizophrenia and drug addiction here as well but sober from Suboxone for over a month had to use one drug to get off of another and then another drug to get off of another and finally got there damn it's rough!
I found this Vid accidentaly. Didn't know it's important to many folks. Congrats to the Sober/Clean Folks!!! I take a bow Guys/Girls, stay strong, stay safe !
No matter what your addiction / problem is, I love how you can apply this song to it. It always give me that boost to stay strong and keep myself out of trouble.
Guys, I've been your fan for years, but this is first time I heard this song. I know you wrote this about heroin and painkiller addiction. I don't suffer from those, but you magnificent bastards mad me cry. My sister just started Chemo. She has Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast Cancer, the worst kind of Breast Cancer. My aunt died from it two years ago, a cousin (from the other side my family) about 15 years ago. I'm going to buy this song for her and I'll make sure she has it on her phone (she's doesn't really know how to do that yet).
I play this song every morning to my trip to methadone clinic. thanks for helping a Worcester mass native stay clean. Im proud to be a fighter. Please help a fellow addict if you can. We can all be survivors. help get methadone more available to those who need it
Nothings free. Awesome song. I feel all these lyrics. Fought my way off the streets, fought the system with following thier rules, took the high road where I could. I stand, knowing I did. Best feeling in the world. Hard to get here, not easy to stay here, this reminds me that I cant give up. You guys are so awesome! 💪❤
i'm crying of happiness,you people are amazing :'''''''''''''''') !!!!!!!!! emotions are so high that i feel you are my brothers, we share this blood of honesty and the big will to live! i focking love you ! you made world better place for me today,and every day in the past,when i heard one of theese songs from your mature period! big love from serbia, i'm sending the rainbows to each person responsible for theese sound miracles! i feel you,and can't express my happiness enough!
Man, it's crazy...I felt all sorry for myself for losing my mom and dad over the past two years. Then I read all these badass fellow fans fighting bigger, badder shit...GODDAMNNN...thank you!!! All my strength to you all - Keep fighting!!!
Wake and pray, work all day I walk past the places that I used to lay Now I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way Some days are hard, some days are long Some days I'm weak, some days I'm strong I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor I chase these dreams down city streets Dead end roads that no one sees And I'm proud to be a fighter Don't shut me out, don't hold me down I'm right here, I'll be around I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way Some days are slow, some days fly by Some days I laugh, some days I cry I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor I chase these dreams down city streets Dead end roads that no one sees And I'm proud to be a fighter When I look back and see your side When I look hard into your eyes When I take stock of what I've done I think about how far I've come But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor And my hopes are so much higher And I'm proud to be a fighter
Réveillez-vous et priez, travaillez toute la journée Je passe devant les endroits que je mettais Maintenant je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Certains jours sont durs, certains jours sont longs Certains jours je suis faible, certains jours je suis fort Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant Je poursuis ces rêves dans les rues de la ville Des routes sans issue que personne ne voit Et je suis fier d'être un combattant Ne me ferme pas, ne me retiens pas Je suis là, je serai là Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Certains jours sont lents, certains jours passent Certains jours je ris, certains jours je pleure Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant Je poursuis ces rêves dans les rues de la ville Des routes sans issue que personne ne voit Et je suis fier d'être un combattant Quand je regarde en arrière et vois ton côté Quand je regarde fort dans tes yeux Quand je fais le bilan de ce que j'ai fait Je pense au chemin parcouru Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant Et mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés Et je suis fier d'être un combattant
“Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.” Psalm 27:3 NIV Hodgekins lymphoma 00’..Never give up.
I've had to fight for everything that I have ever gotten. Somethings seemed to be coming my way, but all those things have been taken. I have worked 4 jobs at a time, when I could, yet the money wouldn't last. The harder I work, the harder life becomes. I tried not to make the same mistakes in life as my family; unfortunately, I found that life still kicks you down. That is why I love your music. I will fight, survive, and succeed even if I die of old age first.
This song means so much to me. Makes me think of my dad, who fought a cancer for many years, and has now recover. He's a fighter. I made him listen to it and he said ''it's like they written this for me.'' ❤
Read through some comments and first off, I'm so damn proud of everyone who has overcome or is still fighting to overcome whatever battles they're fighting. Secondly though, I want to say it doesn't matter what the song was technically written about. Beauty of music is what it means to you in the moment. My son was put into an induced coma 6yrs ago today. He didn't make it through the weekend but that boy was one of the strongest humans I've met, and the end of his fight was the start of mine. Still here. Proud of him, proud of his siblings, and proud of myself. Keep fighting folks, every moment past is a moment won
without a shadow of a doubt this song makes me think about the hardest times past and present. CHIN UP!!🤟 had me fair share of ups and downs the latest being losing 1st my big sister CHER (suicide) march 2018. 2nd being losing my dearest family member my mother also (suicide) june 2019.
This song is inspirational I’ve been through tough times and bad relationships but this reminded me I’m tougher and will survive like the fighter I am.
This song brings me so much hope. I want to use it for my application to Harvard, for next year. I constantly get told "no," or have been called not smart in the past, and I literally paid my way thru undergrad, more than once. I plan on doing so again.
What a message in a beautiful song. This is what I call art. Loved the Dublin concert this year - looking for the next. You know the story Guys - there must be one Dropkick Murphys concert every year!
God bless you lads. Thank you. I'm an addictions counselor. Some days I celebrate. Some days, I mourn. But always I hold hope. My hope is so much higher......
been a Dropkick fan for the past 15 years, and I have yet to see a show. I'll come back to this comment one day after I see them live. long live the Murphys! love the new album, I hope on the next album, we can get Mike McColgan on a song.

If more people would adopt your attitude, we would be so much better off and more ahead of the epidemic.
Never been an addict myself, but I’m a military man and a father.
For both I’ve been through many hard times, just to mention Afghanistan or being a father of three young children.
Though this song was not made for me I still feel joy and power whenever I hear it because it reminds me how far I have come and how many things I’ve conquered in my life so far.
All I can say is thank you for giving me such a boost for my everyday life, gentlemen!
My son 1yrclean today! God bless all the fighters ❤
God bless all the fighters!
Got 210 days today..listening to this band since 1997..it's been a crazy ride..I'm proud to be paying my way
The canvas awaits your new story.

I’m not sure you all know this, but every bad day I have ever had has been made better because of your music! Which is likely for many people. Thank you for many years of being amazing.... and real!

13 years 6 months clean, go fighters.
Ruffnek - respect man. Never stop fighting.
Cool picture btw love Justified. Also Ken said in an interview about how they are considered a drinking band....I guess he's been sober 32 years he said. Anyways good on you.
Ruffnek 12 years, 7 months clean and sober, good for both of us! One day at a time, one hour, Hell one minute if need be!
this year is 13 years off Meth. I had a hiccup with coke in 07 but quickly got back off it. so 10 years clean off coke. But i will smoke weed till i die. its what got me off that crap and what saved me from having to be on opioids for pain.
***** hey, whatever works for you, good for you for getting off the Meth, that shit is pure evil, so is coke!
Ten days off methadone!!! Thanks guys this song really helped me!! Still rocking out in June 2020 !🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hell ya Matt, keeper going lad, be a fighter bro.
Stay strong 💪
Well done 👏 ✔ keep up with your new life 💯👍
Well done mate! 🤘
Methadone sucks, I went back on smack cause it was easier to kick
almost 10 years withouth drinking alcohol , never smoke and never do drugs. Cheers from Moscow, stay proud , stay true to yourself!
yeah man! you're a fighter
14 years and two months sober. Lost a cousin this March, and a lot of brothers and sisters before that. Keep the faith, keep the fight up.
Doug Taylor So sorry :( . My brother for years consistently relapsed and fought his addiction. Now he is clean of heroin which is great. But he has been back and forth so so so so many times.
I lost my daughter and gained a son. The strength he must have. Don't count me out. Everyday I will be paying my way!
Congrats one day I hope to be sober too
Hopefully you have kept the fight going DT.
Had a shitty last month losing 5 friends but I stayed strong
I won't go back in that hole.

@@shawnp6744 Good on you, man. Losing five in a month sounds straight up awful. Never easy to lose even just one.
The last four years were rough on all of us, but I’m still here. St. Patrick’s Day for me, of all days: 3-17-2003. Twenty years so close now I can almost feel it.
Getting started, I wondered “what’s left?”. Now I can see that gratitude is what remains after.
I survived. 8 months sober and clean now. Paying my ways now by helping others to find the way to recovery. 🙏
I think this song speaks to people on more than one level. I deal with anxiety and self doubt daily and this song gives me a reason to walk a little straighter and stronger.
Sometimes getting up early in the morning going to do something you hate because supporting your family is what is really important to you really wears on. This song has really come to my aid a few times when I have needed it. Knowing that I am an Irish American and proud because although things may get tough I still pay my way and thats enough to lift my head and be proud of who I am. Slainte Murphys! This ones for you.
my grandfather, contracted dementia, i now run his farm... hell come high water someone will take it from him! he always helped me out no matter what... im paying my way back!!! i love you all!!! if you need a place to stay, its hard work... its a true farm. I GOT YA.
That's inspiring. Keep your head up
You don't contract dementia, you develope it.
More folks like you are needed urgently in our messed-up world!! 👏👏
He loves yo n it something u get
Kelly Lowe farms support everyone. Keep it in the family.
Music is very subjective. It speaks to us in many different way. Art speaks. Music is Art. DKM does this.
June 19, 2006 I began to pay my way...10 yrs, 8mos, 24 days
3ish years clean after a decade oxy/hammer addiction. I have binge and addiction dramas so if you don't think you can get clean, believe me, you truly can.
I still smoke weed and drink occasionally but that's it now.
As a victim of physical and mental abuse at the hands of my alcoholic father , I relate to this song in a different way as I work everyday to put the past behind me and always be moving to a more brighter future. Best wishes to those engaged with solving their own issues.
Love hearing recovery stories...establishing hope, victory and empowerment. Bouncing back and arising out of despair, sorrow and loss. 593 days...this time and pushing through and forward, despite losing myself, feeling destroyed, etc. The God's see me as having a higher purpose
Keep fighting.
Every day is a new canvas.
Write your own story.
Besides Rose tattoo....I think this is my new favorite song. It's lyrics are very powerful and I relate to them. And it's good that they acknowledge the growing epidemic going on in their own way.
Daren Redman totally agree!

This is my song here. I know it's about addiction (which is an issue I have never had personally), but I have battled depression and anxiety for years. I know what it's like to feel like there's no point in going on, but I also know what it's like to fight that battle and keep going forward. My life is far from perfect, but I've come a long way from where I have been in the past. I'm grateful that I have managed to keep going on, no matter what happens.
So do I. Wish you all the best things you want.
@@Inpunkwetrust-89Thank you, I wish the same for you!
Hi Emily, I relate a lot to your situation and love for this song. Can you share with us how you got on? I am on therapy right now, but it still looks very bleak. I appreciate any helping tip you can give. Thanks!
@@marioalves1184Hi Mario, thank you for your kind words. Good job on getting yourself into therapy, I know how hard it can be to take that first step. I've been in therapy for several years now; I finally realized that I needed a non-judgemental third party to help me through. I've had to change my way of thinking over the years, realizing there are certain things I can't change and have to accept, and other things I can change and what I can do to make that happen. I've also come to realize there are some things that have happened in my life that have probably had an affect on who I am and why I do some of the things I do/think the way I do/etc., but I know I can work through those things. I have also gotten in touch with my spiritual side in recent months--I am not religious by any means, and I used to think that religion and spirituality were interchangeable. I have come to realize that they are not, so I have had to figure out what spirituality means to me. This might sound weird, but I have really gotten into crystals in recent months, and learning about what different crystals can be used for, and now I have certain ones for certain purposes. It might be a placebo effect, but it has really helped me and I have felt more grounded in recent months than I have in years. I don't know if any of that is helpful to you, but hopefully there's something in there that you can take away for yourself, whether it's anything that works for me or if there's something you discover works for you. In any case, thank you again for your comment and I wish you all the best! 🙂
@@marioalves1184 Hi Mario. I am just coming across your comment again; I actually did reply when you originally wrote it but it looks like it didn't go through for some reason. Anyway, I am doing alright; I have my good days and bad days. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, but staying positive (which is something I haven't always been able to say). I go to therapy on and off; haven't been in a few months but might schedule an appointment soon. I guess the best I can say for now is that I have had to find something in me that wants to keep going. Good for you for doing therapy and I hope things are going well for you. I would also suggest surrounding yourself with as many positive people in your life for support ( and you are welcome to get in touch with me if you need someone to listen).
My mom has paid her way ..unfortunately we fear this may be her last Christmas with family. Cancer is taking her away from us. Love you mom!!!
To anyone who needs to hear this:
I'll Be With You.
👏🏻 I'm 👏🏻 proud 👏🏻to 👏🏻 be a fighter 👏🏻👏🏻
Ended up doing a karaoke version of this when I was in for chemo. It was a blast, was accompanied on air drums by a delivery guy. Made my day. :)
Stayed up until 4am listening to the album on repeat. LETS GO MURPHYS
LETS GO!!!
hahaha me too lol

No matter what your addiction / problem is, I love how you can apply this song to it. It always give me that boost to stay strong and keep myself out of trouble.
Lyrics:
Wake and pray
Work all day
I walk past the places that I used to lay
Now I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
Some days are hard
Some days are long
Some days I'm weak
Some days I'm strong
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
My hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
I'd chased these dreams down city streets
Dead end rows and no one sees
And I am proud to be a fighter
Don't shut me out
Don't hold me down
I'm right here
I'll be around
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
Some days are slow
Some days fly by
Some days I laugh
Some days I cry
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way
My hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
I'd chased these dreams down city streets
Dead end rows and no one sees
And I am proud to be a fighter
When I look back and see your sign
When I look hard into your eyes
When I take stock of what I've done
I think about how far I've come
My hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
And my hopes are so much higher
And I am proud to be a fighter

Thanks! 😚
Guys, I've been your fan for years, but this is first time I heard this song. I know you wrote this about heroin and painkiller addiction. I don't suffer from those, but you magnificent bastards mad me cry. My sister just started Chemo. She has Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast Cancer, the worst kind of Breast Cancer. My aunt died from it two years ago, a cousin (from the other side my family) about 15 years ago. I'm going to buy this song for her and I'll make sure she has it on her phone (she's doesn't really know how to do that yet).
This brought me to tears, I fight everyday and its hard, but this song is just what someone needs to keep fighting, Erin Go bragh, well done
I play this song every morning to my trip to methadone clinic. thanks for helping a Worcester mass native stay clean. Im proud to be a fighter. Please help a fellow addict if you can. We can all be survivors. help get methadone more available to those who need it
THANK YOU GUYS. your songs make us all feel way stronger. Love from Greece. THANK YOU. 👊🍀❤
πηγες σε κανα λαιβ τους?
Μιχάλης Πέππας πήγα φίλε μου. πήγα 😉

Εννοείται και περιμένουμε να ξανάρθουν! Θα τα πούμε στα Πιτ! :)
Nothings free. Awesome song. I feel all these lyrics. Fought my way off the streets, fought the system with following thier rules, took the high road where I could. I stand, knowing I did. Best feeling in the world. Hard to get here, not easy to stay here, this reminds me that I cant give up. You guys are so awesome! 💪❤
Coming up on 4 clears clean. Whenever I need inspiration I scroll these comments. We do recover!
you're a survivor, man!
Let this song give strength to those who need it. Be a fighter, and never stop fighting.
Stay strong.
I’m so stoked at all the comments on this video. Keep up the fight guys and gals.
4 and a half years off the HAM. Love and live this song!! Thank you for DKM. 🙏
I love how this song is about sobriety. God's honest truth it feels like they snuck sobriety into my life.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere 🤪
Clean from self harm since July and fighting through nothing like dropkick Murphy's to pull me through!
Good for you, Rusty. Best wishes for continued success at a happy life.
keep on fighting!
Update I'm 3 almost 4 years clean. I have the girl of my dreams and a job!

Some days are hard

Some days I’m strong
I’m paying my way

Song can mean whatever you want it to mean
Man, it's crazy...I felt all sorry for myself for losing my mom and dad over the past two years. Then I read all these badass fellow fans fighting bigger, badder shit...GODDAMNNN...thank you!!! All my strength to you all - Keep fighting!!!
@ I’m not crying, YOU ARE 😭 Thank you friend. I’m on the high side of 6 feet of dirt, so I can’t complain
Wake and pray, work all day
I walk past the places that I used to lay
Now I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are hard, some days are long
Some days I'm weak, some days I'm strong
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
But my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
I chase these dreams down city streets
Dead end roads that no one sees
And I'm proud to be a fighter
Don't shut me out, don't hold me down
I'm right here, I'll be around
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are slow, some days fly by
Some days I laugh, some days I cry
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
But my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
I chase these dreams down city streets
Dead end roads that no one sees
And I'm proud to be a fighter
When I look back and see your side
When I look hard into your eyes
When I take stock of what I've done
I think about how far I've come
But my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
And my hopes are so much higher
And I'm proud to be a fighter
👍
Réveillez-vous et priez, travaillez toute la journée
Je passe devant les endroits que je mettais
Maintenant je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Certains jours sont durs, certains jours sont longs
Certains jours je suis faible, certains jours je suis fort
Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés
Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant
Je poursuis ces rêves dans les rues de la ville
Des routes sans issue que personne ne voit
Et je suis fier d'être un combattant
Ne me ferme pas, ne me retiens pas
Je suis là, je serai là
Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Certains jours sont lents, certains jours passent
Certains jours je ris, certains jours je pleure
Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Je paie mon chemin, je paie mon chemin
Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés
Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant
Je poursuis ces rêves dans les rues de la ville
Des routes sans issue que personne ne voit
Et je suis fier d'être un combattant
Quand je regarde en arrière et vois ton côté
Quand je regarde fort dans tes yeux
Quand je fais le bilan de ce que j'ai fait
Je pense au chemin parcouru
Mais mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés
Ne me compte pas, je suis un survivant
Et mes espoirs sont tellement plus élevés
Et je suis fier d'être un combattant
Fyck yes
Merci pour les paroles c'est super sympa 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing!
“Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.”

Hodgekins lymphoma 00’..Never give up.
Love that comment. That's heartfelt. Hit me like a gut punch. Thank you.
I've had to fight for everything that I have ever gotten. Somethings seemed to be coming my way, but all those things have been taken. I have worked 4 jobs at a time, when I could, yet the money wouldn't last. The harder I work, the harder life becomes. I tried not to make the same mistakes in life as my family; unfortunately, I found that life still kicks you down.
That is why I love your music. I will fight, survive, and succeed even if I die of old age first.
God bless fighters everywhere. You give the world hope😍
Awesome song, 16 years 3 months of being a fighter
They sing about Truths we all know to be held to the darkest hour, I've had a few myself but we are all fighters
This song means so much to me. Makes me think of my dad, who fought a cancer for many years, and has now recover. He's a fighter. I made him listen to it and he said ''it's like they written this for me.'' ❤
Read through some comments and first off, I'm so damn proud of everyone who has overcome or is still fighting to overcome whatever battles they're fighting.
Secondly though, I want to say it doesn't matter what the song was technically written about. Beauty of music is what it means to you in the moment.
My son was put into an induced coma 6yrs ago today. He didn't make it through the weekend but that boy was one of the strongest humans I've met, and the end of his fight was the start of mine. Still here. Proud of him, proud of his siblings, and proud of myself. Keep fighting folks, every moment past is a moment won
without a shadow of a doubt this song makes me think about the hardest times past and present.
CHIN UP!!🤟
had me fair share of ups and downs the latest being losing 1st my big sister CHER (suicide) march 2018.
2nd being losing my dearest family member
my mother also (suicide) june 2019.
This song is inspirational I’ve been through tough times and bad relationships but this reminded me I’m tougher and will survive like the fighter I am.
7 years dry
proud to be a fighter!
Yeah! you're a true fighter, my friend!
Good on You. 22 years sober. Keep fighting. Great show last night at Mohegan Sun.
Amazing song!!! Hello to all of you DKM fans from Uruguay!

great song
This song represents every aspect of my life. Irish, fight for life, struggle, and coming up
keep on fighting!
Ken is so cute, i wanna hug him!! cheers from greece!!
This song brings me so much hope. I want to use it for my application to Harvard, for next year. I constantly get told "no," or have been called not smart in the past, and I literally paid my way thru undergrad, more than once. I plan on doing so again.
What a message in a beautiful song. This is what I call art. Loved the Dublin concert this year - looking for the next. You know the story Guys - there must be one Dropkick Murphys concert every year!
God bless you lads. Thank you. I'm an addictions counselor. Some days I celebrate. Some days, I mourn. But always I hold hope. My hope is so much higher......
I am lucky to have never fought daemons like this, but for all you who have.. keep strong, stay in the fight
been a Dropkick fan for the past 15 years, and I have yet to see a show. I'll come back to this comment one day after I see them live. long live the Murphys! love the new album, I hope on the next album, we can get Mike McColgan on a song.
Great new album, full of fantastic songs.
To everyone out there who has fought or is fighting those demons, stay strong! Never forget those who we lost either. RIP Tommy, I miss you brother.
