Keep Fighting Dad

Dad i hate to see you lying there
 And I hope you're not in pain 
Each day I cross my heart and pray 
That you'll soon be home again

 You keep on getting better 
Then something else goes wrong
 But keep on fighting through it 
You can do it dad, you're strong

 You've been through more than we expected
 And now you're on the uphill slope 
Please dad keep on climbing 
We all have strength and hope

Don't let the set backs set you back 
Use your determination to get through 
Please dad keep on fighting
 We're all here, right with you

 Come on dad you can do it 
Fight hard and don't give in 
We want you home again with us 
Keep fighting til you win


For my dad who is in intensive care
