Most of the kids my age
Think of whom to ask out next
While I ask how much more,
how much longer
I can picture myself running
Playing, and just being with friends
Eating whatever I want and most of all
I dream of going to school
My life in my dream
Is fun and exciting
But when I awake
Pain and sorrow bring
Me back to reality
Again I ask myself how much more
How much longer 'cause I
Know in the end the cancer
Will win
I just don't know when
Think of whom to ask out next
While I ask how much more,
how much longer
I can picture myself running
Playing, and just being with friends
Eating whatever I want and most of all
I dream of going to school
My life in my dream
Is fun and exciting
But when I awake
Pain and sorrow bring
Me back to reality
Again I ask myself how much more
How much longer 'cause I
Know in the end the cancer
Will win
I just don't know when
