As you fighting on that sickbed
We out here hoping this ain't the end
The doctor assured us nothing will go wrong
Mama said just like papa you're strong
Hey do you remember the coffeeshop lady
The one you stole my card to buy her a teddy
Yes I remember her name Hannah
She brought you her smile and a banana
I hope you recall how you bragged about it
She's hoping you'll say something or just eat
You not a priest but your favorite place was the temple
You said it was the best hideout even from the devil
You got everyone's attention
They all pray for a benediction
Though I was the black sheep of the family
You believed in me honestly
In scorching sun you're like a patch of shade
You touched our hearts and now you want to fade
You never hesitated to swim against the tide
Every narrow path you took you made it wide
In an endless desert you're like an oasis
You never hesitated to take your chances
On a bruised heart you're like a soothing balm
Oh! Please open your eyes we'll slaughter the fat ram
In our darkest nights you're like the moon
We all hope you get well soon.
