Everybody knows [Bm] someone who's sick.
40 [G]% will get cancer.
Only half's gonna live.
Your mom and your dad and your sister stand [Bm] inside a room.
And someone won't survive it.
Do you hope it isn't you?
I swear that cancer has a cure but [Bm] they're refusing to make it.
[G] They've done like 40 years of research, 90 billion in donations.
We've been running for the cure and [Bm] wearing ribbons for ages.
Why are people [G] still going through radiation?
It's crazy.
100 billion dollar industry, they can't afford to end it.
And nobody wants to die, our only option is to spend it.
We'd give anything to stick around for just another second.
Give a fortune to the doctors who promise they can extend it.
The profits are astronomic, the hospitals and [A] the clinics are filling coffins [G] with dollars.
It's awful, let's just admit it.
We're all human, we'll keep fighting cause it's how we survive.
But it's scary cause we don't know where we'll go when we die.
Don't give up, I know [A] you're strong.
Show [G] them all your fire.
The day's on, the night's [C] on.
[G] But you are brighter when it's dire.
You burn brighter in the dark.
You're a survivor when you're tired.
You hold tighter, you have hope.
Nothing matters if you don't have your health.
All the money in the world doesn't help.
The good might go to heaven and the bad might go to hell.
But no one wants to leave here, you can tell.
Cancer touches everyone, it's in our genetics.
And our world's become so toxic, it's all carcinogenic.
We've polluted the [Bm] water, the air, the food we're [G] injecting is full of hormones and poison.
Our population's infected, they sell us cigarettes and liquor.
Built a business on addictions, we've been paying them to kill ourselves.
We're dying to keep living, it's the system, it's a prison.
We keep trying to beat it, we get cancer from keeping all of our demons a secret.
And our insurance don't cover the things we need to defeat [C] it.
And even if it [G] does, then we might die from the treatment.
Our best defense is living like we [A] do not know what cancer is.
Fight it if you [G] have it and pray that there's something after this.
Don't give up, I know you're [A] strong.
Show them [D] all you're fire.
[G] The days are [Em] hard, the nights [C] are long.
[G] But you are brighter when it's dire.
You burn brighter in the dark.
You're a survivor when you're tired.
You hold tighter, you have heart.
You won't know [G] how to be brave till you choose to fight when you're afraid.
And you can't experience strength till you struggle to carry the [D] weight.
And you [Bm] won't know why you have faith [C] till you look the devil in his face.
And you [G] don't know what you can take till you realize you didn't break.
Don't give up, I know you're [A] strong.
