*Verse 1*

It took away more lives today

It broke hearts by tearing them apart

One by one they came undone

And I know they will never be put back together the same

They'll just try and try to forget about it all

They'll hide in shadows and pray to God to keep them strong

But deep down they know this will stay with them forever in the back of their minds

This demon disease will be haunting them

Late at night

And your struggling to survive with a monster under your bed

And you realize

You just gotta move on gotta stay strong

Gotta believe that things will get better

and I promise you they will

*Chorus*

Take a second and smile even though its a rainy day

You don't want to waste another minute

Thinking about what you could've said and what you could've done different

Before it took over and now its over

Life goes on

And you learn that the pain in your heart

Is what makes you strong

*Verse 2*

I met this boy who brought the others some joy

He helped kids who like him were fighting wars

Hand in hand he helped them stand

And they know they will fall but get right back up again

They'll just fight and fight and won't let it bring them down

They'll just hope and hope and pray to God to keep them strong

But deep down they know this will stay with them forever in the back their minds

*Repeat Chorus*

Take a second and smile even though its a rainy day

You don't want to waste another minute

Thinking about what you couldv'e said and what you couldv'e done different

Before it took over and now it's over

Life goes on

An you learn that the pain in your heart

Is what makes you strong

*Bridge*

Even though you feel empty inside I want you to smile tonight

Because it would mean the world to those on the other side

To see you that way

To see you okay

*Repeat Chorus*

So take a second and smile even though its a rainy day

You don't want to wate another minute

Thinking about what you couldv'e said and what you couldv'e done different

Before it took over and now it's over

Life goes on

And you learn that the pain in your heart

Is what makes you strong.

This song was written about little boy who had cancer and helped other kids like him by giving them small gifts. He held fundraisers annual 5k runs to buy these gifts for cancer patuents and brought a lot of people joy this way. I wrote this a tribute to him for all he did. This little boy will ferever be in my heart and I hope he will be in yours now as well. I also wrote another poem called "The Gift of Cancer" and it goes more in depth of his acts of kindness if you would like to check it out.  : )
