Cancer Took Them All
what is this thing we call Cancer
it’s tearing my family apart
one by one
Cancer took them all
my heart is truly breaking
it’s about to take yet another
one by one
Cancer took them all
so many have gone before
grandparents, parents and more
one by one
Cancer took them all
throat, stomach and lung
pancreas, liver and brain
one by one
Cancer took them all
the mourning lingers on
is my fate already sealed
one by one
will Cancer take my life as well
