Take it from the fluorescent lights
From the sun shining in the sky
From the windows in this hospital room
From the hours ticking by

Take if from the hands you hold
From every tear that you cry
Take if from the cold hard floors,
From the dark and lonely nights

Take it from the flowers that bloom
From your heart that beats inside
From the cards they brought to decorate your room
From your family by your side

Take it from the roughest nights
and from the brightest days
Take it from the love that surrounds you,
as you fight to stay.
