My Little Boy

Dedicated to cancer survivors

We fought a silent battle, between these hospital walls
We fought a silent battle, as we walked down the halls
Your little hand wrapped around mine, as I walked you down the corridor
I remember all the times we laughed, inside the bedroom door

Now you're gone, my little boy
Now you're gone, my little friend
The silent killer has killed once again
Now you're gone, my little soldier
Now you're gone, my little boy
All the laughter, all the sweetness, all the joy

Through his patience I found the strength, to go on everyday
And though the memories are painful, I'm very glad to say
He was my little boy

And though you might have lost the battle, I think you won the war
And through your death and memories, I am now grateful for
Everyday I'm here on this earth, and the chance I had to meet you
Every month I'm free of this disease, and it's all thanks to you

Now you're gone, my little boy
Now you're gone, my little friend
The silent killer has killed once again
Now you're gone, my little soldier
Now you're gone, my little boy
May you find happiness, peace and joy
