What Do you Picture when listening to this song? Why? When I Listen to the song, I think of a girl standing on top of a boat in the ocean with wind blowing through her hair. The lyrics I picture are in the first stanza, “Like a small boat, on the ocean, Sending big waves into motion.” These lyrics easily paint a picture in my mind of a little boat, surrounded by an endless sea.

What are your favourite lyrics? Why? My favourite lyrics are in the chorus of the song. “This is my fight song, Take back my life song, prove I’m alright song.” I like these lyrics because it shows that she is getting back on her feet, and proving that she will be okay, and go back to where she wants to be. These lyrics inspire me if I ever was in any trouble, to fight for myself, and be okay in the end.

Are there any Similes or metaphors on this song? What do they mean? (Like a small boat, on the ocean, sending big waves, into motion) This is a simile, using the word “like” to compare Two different things. I think that this may symbolize how something small, can create a big impact in the world. (I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion) This metaphor compares one tiny match, that can make an explosion. Again, she is conveying that one tiny action, can cause a big impact in the world, if we would only get up and do it.

Only a single action, can change your life. I also like the chorus of this song. (this is my fight song, take back my life song, prove I’m alright song) I think that these lyrics tell you to stand up and fight for what you believe in.
