I'Ve Learned To Live Through All the Pain

I've lived a month with this cursed flare,
I can hardly remember when it wasn't there
Back in the days when I had not a care
I've lived a month with this cursed flare.

When it first came, I felt alone,
I couldn't get out of bed at home
the diagnosis then I was shown,
I knew now why I was laying prone.

Lupus is a terrible disease
I've asked the Lord to rid me please,
It hurts so bad to even sneeze
Yes Lupus is a terrible disease.

I've learned to live through all the pain,
Now that I know it has a name,
There is no-one for me to blame
So, I've learned to live through all the pain.
