Think Pink

How do you get your body
To fight what's in your body?

Wade water long enough to stay afloat
Until the cure come like a boat and deliver you past this present condition?

Pause when the doctor enter and listen
Hoping to hear the word remission

I've been put in this position

Tot try and strengthen my aunt for a transplant
But none of that happened

So I let her go
But held on to her memories

I found when I buy roses and dry them upside down they last longer

This malady will make your faith stronger

Get this
I have never seen a sick atheist

Not believing in a Higher Power is only the thought of a healthy mind

Not even a wealthy mind

Can buy more time

The choice is cut off a piece of your body
To save the rest of your body

And nobody that is somebody really cares

It's just hair

And they can stare because with all you are carrying
You are still beautiful!

So I think pink
Sink deeper than this ink

Walk for you
Donate time and money

And put in a lot of effort until we beat this
Like "That was just like Polio"

It can be done
It will be done

I'm an optimist
The oncologists can concur this - with the help of the Lord

I've lost a lot to it
Maybe the location of the mill helped to kill some

The air may be dirty

But a job in the Coke plant can help you get that
House, car and tuition for college or private school

So what can you do?

Change her diet...
Tried it...

Still gotta work
No medicine is provided for free

This country don't care if a woman gets sick
They are more preoccupied if a dog is abused by Mike Vick

If Monica Lewinski is still...

Or if Ben Laden is plotting

Your struggle will not be forgotten

The future of a nation is judged by the character of the woman
And coming from a man that's on the outside that has watched your stand

I feel that the future is in good hands...
