cancer

Cancer.

Raging through the body

Having no mercy

No shame

Taking all it can

Living unseen

Leaving a path of destruction

Fighting a battle

Good against evil

Where does it stop?

When is it content?

Not until the end.

Not until it’s taken everything you have.

Your hopes

Your dreams

Your life

Scattering them all like ashes in the wind

But it’s not over

This body is temporary

It can’t touch the soul.

It can’t take your faith.

You will live on

Wide Wide World

I wanted to be safe

I wanted to get by

I almost lost my edge

I could not fathom why

But You would never let me

Your dangerous side won out

Cause You knew what I wanted

I wanted to get out

----------

It's a wide wide world

And I almost lost You in it

It's a chance to live

But it almost passed me by

It's an open door

To live for something better

Cause You keep leading me

Into the wide wide world

----------

Did Moses want to turn back

After crossing the Red Sea?

I bet that he got nervous

I wish that I could see

Cause I've got the shakes all over

And I want to turn around

But I'm twice as scared of missing

The good that can be found

----------

Cause You are past the borders

Somewhere off the map

Of what feels comfortable

And I am so grateful for that

----------

It's adventure that we want

And it's what we'll finally get

There's nothing safe about You

But sometimes I forget

So lead me into the wide world

Don't let me miss my chance

Cause I'll blink and it'll be over

And I won't pass here again
