Verse 1:
It was just a routine mammogram
You said everything was clear
That I had nothing to worry about
That I had nothing to fear
But what you could not understand
What you could not know
Was the cancer running through my veins
You just had to let it grow
Chorus:
Why me, why did this happen to me
I keep praying to the Christ my King
To take it all away
There is no way to change the past but
There is so much more life could have been
Verse 2:
He says it's all in my head
They say I'm strong
My two grandchildren
They keep me hanging on
At least I have my family
At least I have my friends
But something inside of me still says
It is almost the end
Chorus:
Why me, why did this happen to me
I keep praying to the Christ my King
To take it all away
There is no way to change the past but
There is so much more life could have been
Verse 3:
These two young ladies
Came to see me today
They asked me all about my life
And if there was a way
I told them “listen to your hearts”
Listen to your patients
Because even if you cannot see,
Only they know where it hurts
Chorus:
Why me, why did this happen to me
I keep praying to the Christ my King
To take it all away
I know I cannot change the past
So this is how my life will be
