Father's given six months to live, Just don't have the strength like he did, A hard rain it is falling they say, But I'll be here to stand in its way. Fighting since the day we are born Keep fighting till the last breath we draw Mother she knows that every day is taking its toll She prays to god, she tells me he knows, I spoke to him and I told him that I won't let you go There's a thunderstorm beginning to blow Release that fire from the pit of your soul There's a thunderstorm beginning to blow Release that fire from the pit of your soul Fighting since the day we are born Keep fighting till the last breath we draw Fighting since the day we are born The darkest hour's always just before the dawn Here I stand and sing my song to you my love, so just hold on Don't leave now, come stay up late, TV is on, heaven can wait
