| Yeah, question, why’re we on the fourth floor?
|
| I asked her mother, but we both or weren’t sure yet
|
| This is where the doctor said that we should go
|
| Holdin' my child, she’s 10 months old
|
| The hospital was so cold
|
| Definitely ruinin' all of our holiday plans of beach sands
|
| Filling out some bland paperwork with shaky hands (Lost)
|
| Seein' little children stricken with a certain sickness
|
| Clutch my baby a little tighter reflect of nervous feelings
|
| A whole hour passed, we starting to lose patience
|
| Humbled by the thoughts of patients lost in this situation (What's going on?)
|
| Here comes a nurse, not knowing that we should fear the worst
|
| Seen the doctor’s mouth movin', couldn’t even hear the words
|
| This isn’t happenin' to you, I’m like Superman
|
| And I could protect you from anything, I was really scared (Serious)
|
| I realized what I heard but not prepared for
|
| The sentence that the doctor said, «Your daughter has cancer»
|
| I will take my life right now, if you would save my child
|
| I’d change my life for her, this is my solemn vow
|
| No more chemo in her veins and no more screams of pain (I pray)
|
| This is a father’s shame, that I can’t save you from everything
|
| Okay I got to man up
|
| It hit me so hard, that I could barely stand up (My world stopped)
|
| Then the flowers and balloons and the cards came
|
| Prayers many hours, knees bruised all in God’s name (Hurt so much)
|
| If only my feeble hands could remove this neuroblastoma tumor from your adrenal
|
| glands (Helpless)
|
| Why you? |
| Why now? |
| It didn’t feel fair
|
| Your grandma shed tears, you lost your hair
|
| It’s unbelievable little Bella was that strong
|
| And inconceivable we lived in the hospital that long (Forever)
|
| Protecting your immune system from contaminants
|
| You had to wear a medical mask, can’t give my kid a kiss (Imagine)
|
| I learned to envision your face growing getting older
|
| Envisioned you driving your first car and getting your diploma
|
| Envisioned your wedding, your husband better be a soldier
|
| A little girl sick like you died two row’s over (Eva)
|
| I will take my life right now
|
| If you would save my child
|
| I’d change my life for her
|
| This is my solemn vow
|
| No more chemo in her veins
|
| And no more screams of pain (I pray)
|
| This is a father’s shame
|
| That I can’t save you from everything
|
| Chemotherapy made Christmas hard to process
|
| I fed the family faith, hoping it would make their fears starve to death
|
| Your momma’s tough, prayed to Saint Jude’s that its a bad dream
|
| But could it be I’m speaking to a doctor and not Epstein (reality)
|
| I remember the cries, remember the meals fed through tubes
|
| Pulling the red wagon, the sound of the plastic wheels
|
| Kind of a metaphor for pulling through this ordeal
|
| I pray my enemies never even have to know how this feels (hurts)
|
| But forget our feelings it doesn’t matter, you’re the one suffering
|
| You couldn’t speak a lot yet but its like your eyes was saying
|
| «Daddy, if it’s an obstacle, and price I got to pay
|
| For a long, great life, then we’ll make it through okay.»
|
| The day of your final surgery, I still live in that moment
|
| The teddy bear you were holding, I still own it
|
| I watched the doors closing, February 2, 2004…
|
| My little girl is cured
|
| My God
|
| I will take my life right now
|
| If you would save my child
|
| I’d change my life for her
|
| This is my solemn vow
|
| No more chemo in her veins
|
| And no more screams of pain (I pray)
|
| This is a father’s shame
|
| That I can’t save you from everything
