My life goes on day by day
When it will end, no one can really say
Well I guess there is one person who knows
If that's what you believe
I guess he's up there watching over us
If only we could see
The day I was born he picked me
I was the one to carry on the gene
See, I was born with Cystic Fibrosis
It's a lung disease
It reminds me of a rose
Every day a petal falls off
Yet the flower never grows
But I have everything that I could want
A soul, a family, a dream, a heart
A dream to go on day by day
A heart that beats for what I have to say
A soul to fall into, leaving my problems behind
A family to help give me love and keep me in line
Yet no one can take away the pain I hide.
I feel pain in the day and in the night
Never can I just breath easy and sleep tight
My future and thoughts haunt my dreams
Someday I know everything will be better then what it seems
I get all the medication I could ever need
From pills I swallow to painful IV's
The doctors say the meds will help
You know, to find a cure
Although I know they wont
They'll last a while for the time that things are ment to be
I hope
But every day I make a promise to me, myself and I
This promise will last forever until the day I die
I tell myself that I will fight and always try
I will live my life and yes, I will survive.
