Every day i lived my life
As though i had tomorrow
Everything was going great
I didnt know the meaning of sorrow

Then disaster struck
It hurt like a knife to the heart
I was never the strong one
But this was my time to start

My mom was ill
She had a terrible disease
What better thing to do
Then pray on hands and knees

I prayed every night
'Cause i didnt want to lose my mom
Even though i was scared
I had to stay calm

I guess God was on our side
'Cause my mom's alive today
Cherish every moment
Thats all i had to say.
