Our first ever Cancer Can Rock Featured Artist

lyrics

Three packs a day took him at 49
The cure that wouldn't stick
Took her the same time
Now here's a disease I claim for my own
A darkness in me
A threat to all I've known

Well if you're comin' to take me
Hold on, now let me be
'cause I have my babies
I need them
And they
Need me
Need me

They all say I'm so strong
Between the battle and the war
These days I don't feel
Like fighting any more

Yes, time carries on
And the dark cloud rolls back
It's nowhere in sight
But I fear it's coming back

Well if you're comin' to take me
Hold on, now let me be
'cause I have my babies
I need them
And they
They need me

It took too long to get here
for me to leave so soon
but if I go
Remember
I love you to the moon
and back

(guitar solo)

I wanna live my life
with no fear and no regret
I've learned that life's too short
to get caught up in the net

So today is the first day
To say goodbye to doom and gloom
And even when I'm near,
Know I love you to the moon

If you're comin' to take me
Hold on, now let me be
'cause I have my babies
I need them
And they need me
Need me
Need me
Need me
