*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. : )
