lyrics

Cancer Song

Rise, rise with love in your eyes let every morning greet you
Rise, rise with hope in your eyes let no sadness defeat you.

Rise, rise & with the sun rise let the morning embrace you
Rise, rise for time always flies let no darkness disgrace you.

Rise, rise for love never dies may your day surprise you
Rise, rise with no alibis & may your day astound you.

Chorus
Every morning I will find my glory: I will write my survivor’s story
Every morning I will find my glory: I will write my survivor’s story
Beating cancer & feeling fine; living clean & drinking wine
Beating cancer & feeling fine; living clean & drinking wine.

Rise, rise & claim your prize let every moment find you
Rise, rise with no disguise let no illness bind you.

Rise, rise now the sun is high let your positivity rule you
Rise, rise & with no surprise let no negativity school you.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Rise, rise & with joyful cries walk into a world that claims you
Rise, rise & always be wise let no illness ever shame you.

Rise, rise with love in your eyes let every morning greet you
Rise, rise with hope in your eyes & let no cancers defeat you
And let no cancers defeat you & let no cancers defeat you.
