ANOTHER DAY for CANCER

ANOTHER DAY 2007 copyright Siusan O'Rourke On a Scale of Ten it was a nine The Storm blew in without a sign Sent to break me, make me weak I could not Stand Nor could I speak As it passed and Silence Fell It seemed Id woken up in Hell Shock and Mercy Fill the Days The Storm has passed The Wreckage Stays I Breathe in and I breathe Out The Sun comes up And the sun goes Down Pray to God to Ease my Fear Another Day Another Year For Those I love These Days pass by They see me Laugh they see me Cry We Gather Strength in What God has planned Face the Wind and Make our Stand Knowing every soul must leave Still we mourn and Still we Grieve Pray in Fear and Sing in Praise The Storm has Passed The Wreckage Stays I Breathe in and I breathe Out The Sun comes up And the sun goes Down Pray to God to Ease my Fear Another Day Another Year Yes Ive bent.. but shall not Yield I ask my Lord to be my Sheild I go for walks and start to Run I stare direct into the Sun I hang on and yes, I let go Ive forgotten most I know but through Grace I'll live my Days The Storm has passed But the Wreckage Stays I Breathe in and I Breathe out The Sun comes up And the sun goes Down Pray to God to Ease my Fear Another Day Another Year .. .. "Another Day" for Cancer Hello to all of the Friends we know and Those we dont. Sept 11th 2007 marked 1 year since my last Chemo treatment and I have been feeling for some time that when I was up to it I would like to write a song that will cross the lines and have meaning to not just the survivors of Breast Cancer.. but all Cancers.. All Family members living through it and to be honest for anyone out there who is dealing with a life Changing event. Cancer, as with other illnesses and catastrophic events comes up from behind you and takes us all by surprise. The aftermath no matter what anyone might say and no matter what the longterm prospect turns out to be, is lifechanging, sometimes forcing us to live as we should have all along. HOWEVER it is none the less very similar to living a life always listening for the next round to be Chambered behind you. Human that we are..even the strongest of Faiths are tested and all of our loved ones are held hostage to the Fear as well. "Another Day" was written with the hope that it would speak to all of us touched by Cancer in some way. By the end of December I will be offering this song plus two others as a Download with 50% of the profits to go to CANCER RESEARCH all Cancers..the other 50% I will use myself to try and get Private Health insurance so that I can get off Medicade. I hope this song will at least in a small way, help to ease the fear that we all feel. Even if it is just in confirming that we are all fearful but strenght comes when we realize that we walk together on this path towards our ultimate end. Stay Well and live HAPPY! Siusan and Zig
