An- Yes, I know, I already have two peices in progress. THis one is more to... work through what is going on with me and my cancer. When I was just becoming concious after surgery my wife had apparently left to take a phone call, and I woke up to my 14 year old daughter, Liz, playing this song on her guitar. Of course it made me bawl. She said it was her mom and momma (me). Liz is so much like Callie, and went through a lot of the same stuff, that I wanted to write a story of the Fosters. The first chapter is just the lyrics, the second and beyond will be the story. (Pronouns have been changed in lyrics).
She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just confirmed her fears
Her wife held it in and held her tight
Cancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38
With three kids who need you in their lives
She said, "I know that you're afraid and I am, too
But you'll never be alone, I promise you"
When you're weak, I'll be strong
When you let go, I'll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can't take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.
She made it through the surgery fine
They said they caught it just in time
But they had to take more than they planned
Now it's forced smiles and baggy shirts
To hide what the cancer took from her
But she just wants to feel like a woman again
She said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"
Her wife took her in her arms and said "That's what my love is for"
When you're weak, I'll be strong
When you let go, I'll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can't take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.
And when this road gets too long
I'll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.
I'm gonna love you through it.
