Song for Heather

May 29, 2010 4:28 PM

This song was written for and inspired by a very dear friend of mine who is battling her second round of cancer. It's dedicated to her and everyone else who suffer and fight. They are the strongest people in the world.

Music & Lyrics by me. Vocals, piano (not very good, I know) and synth pad also by me. Recorded about a year and a half ago in GarageBand.

Lyrics:

As though nobody knew it
A fear is growing deep inside your chest
Hating tomorrow, wishing everything would come to a rest
Uncertain of the future, your voice is feeble now
Your heart has lost its rhythm, your eyes have lost their spark, and you don’t know how

But light has followed you
Your soul is still intact
And though your body’s hurting you
You find a smile wherever you can
When everything seems like it’s coming to an end
You know just where you can find your friends
And their voices call you, whispering your name
And that in the end, you’ll win this game

And everywhere, you feel it
The fear of your life slowly slipping away
Wishing for a future, hoping that you can really stay
Hateful thoughts, they grow in you, although you really try
And everyday you hate the sun, it shines as though it’s mocking you, and you cannot fly

But light has followed you
Your soul is still intact
And though your body’s hurting you
You find a smile wherever you can
When everything seems like it’s coming to an end
You know just where you can find your friends
And their voices call you, whispering your name
And that in the end, you’ll win this game

Forever seems like no time at all
This world seems like nothing at all
Your heart feels so empty inside
You wonder if maybe you can hide
From everything that surrounds you
From the bad thoughts and the fears
And will you dare to face the sun
Another day?

And light has followed you
Your soul is still intact
And though your body’s hurting you
You find a smile wherever you can
When everything seems like it’s coming to an end
You know just where you can find your friends
And their voices call you, whispering your name
And that in the end, you’ll win this game
