Cancer has a way of changing the plans you make 
When the world comes crashing down
Standing at the kitchen sink
Suddenly the sunshine doesn’t shine so bright
Cause a doctors diagnosis turned off all the light

Cancer has a way of changing your priorities
When the love you took for granted
Now you’re begging God won’t leave
What you never made the time for
Is now what matters most
Walking through the front door more often than you go

Cancer has a way of changing the way you think
When a normal Tuesday morning
Is the best day of the week
Cause Tuesday’s nothing special but it’s the day your in
And you woke up this morning saying I’m not giving in

because Your body might be broken, but your heart is gonna grow
When you’re walking through a living hell, Heaven feels so close
Running back to Jesus to find he never left
Carrying your weakness, in the grace that he gives
 
Cancer has a way of changing the way you speak
When your eyes do all the talking
cause your voice is just to weak
Suffering in silence cause you can’t find the words
To describe how you’re feeling or how much it really hurts

Cancer has a way of changing the way you hear
The voices of your loved ones is music to your ears
The sound of your heart beating singing me to sleep
In the dark when your breathing, I know your next to me 

Cause we’re not promised tomorrow and today was a gift
Through the joy and the sorrow, we take the time we get 
If you don’t talk like you used to, and you don’t think the same. If you see life a little different and your priorities have changed.

Its alright, cause you made it through today
