Relay the Message
Through struggles with health amongst all the strife..
The one sure thing is this program called Relay For Life…
Everyday someone in America dies of uncontrollable disease…
So widespread it brings family and friends to their knees…
To watch their loved ones both big and small…
Give in to the fight to win or lose it all..
The smiles on the face of a child who overcomes yet another spinal tap..
Or the tears of joy of a parent who can live to hold their grandchildren on their lap..
What makes it real are the people who are involved and donate..
Because as you know for some it is already too late…
So we have to see that their future is truly in our hands..
To help these victims fight and take a stand…
And be their strength in dark times as well as in the light..
So they know we care even before their spirit takes flight.
